Here is the situation...
A 17 year old boy and his Father decided they wanted to take a trip down to the CNE in Toronto. The Exhibition only opens once a year for a few weeks, filled with food, tons of entertainment, a casino and so much more.
The CNE generates over $80-million to the Ontario economy, with $58-million fueling the greater Toronto economy alone. Attracting over 275,000 out-of-town visitors every year. They are a proud employer of over 5,000 youth during the 18-day fair, many coming from at-risk communities. Moreover, their spending creates the equivalent of 633 jobs in the region.
Imagine, in the last decade, the CNE has contributed more than $20-million in site fees to the annual operating budget of Exhibition Place, in addition to $7.3-million in operating profits going to the city’s bottom line.
Looks and sounds awesome doesn't it?
Well the father of the seventeen-year-old boy that was terrified as he watched a worker jump onto the sky ride (called bonzeye or something) mid action didn't think so. As the ride look motion the people around as well as the boy and his father noticed the loose ride harness. Scary huh? Yeah, I couldn't even imagine.
But hey! On a happier note, it's Friday junior!
Great weekend, Steemites!
