With City Council expected to decide whether to hand over control of Hastings Park to the Park Board in a couple of weeks, a couple of dozen people gathered at the corner of Hastings and Renfrew to support Park Board takeover.
Linda Shuto with Friends of Hastings Park says the PNE Board doesn't take enough care when it comes to the environment.
"But they're not environmentalists, they're not park experts, and so when they make a decision to do something like put a dock in the sanctuary, it really is ill-advised."
Those at today's rally attempting to cover the PNE billboard with a banner were intercepted by PNE security who ordered it taken down.
