Matheson says the worst thing is rave culture has been labelled as drug culture. A lot of people are here today just because they love the music. There are people out there who like to dance all night. She is at the protest to let people know that raves are okay. We are not doing anything wrong.
Raves are actually a comfortable and laid-back environment.
Chris Cruikshank signs a petition to reopen the Pavillion. He came to the Grand Parade on his lunch break to support the cause. I think this protest is getting its point across. You can't get much more public than a public square in Halifax. He would like to see a dance safety committee set up between members of council and rave promoters to make regulations.
