In February, Kingston City Council voted to approve a new motion moved by Kingscourt-Rideau District Councillor Brandon Tozzo, which encourages residents to “limit lawn mowing practices during the month of May, to provide early season foraging resources for pollinators that emerge in the spring.”
More recently, the city made available lawn signs that promote this initiative. These signs, which feature an image of a lawn covered and flowers with a bee and a hummingbird, encourages residents to "Bee Friendly" and contains a QR code that viewers can scan using their mobile device for more information.
Another idea, however, is not receiving the same amount of support. Attempting to ride on the success of No Mow May, local resident Blake Pottoll proposed No Asphalt April in an attempt to curb the efforts by City staff to repair roads during the month of April. However, Pottoll hit many speedbumps while trying to gather support for this motion, indicating that people seem to favour smooth roads over bumpy ones.
"Bumpy roads add character," said Pottoll, who was able to speak to the Wig while at a garage having shock absorbers replaced.
There's been no word on No Joke or No Juggle July.
