Ban chips on a stick and Dutch pancakes from the Canberra Multicultural Festival
The issue
The Multicultural festival is a fixture on the Canberra calendar. For years as many as 100000 people have gathered on City Walk to celebrate the multicultural foundations of our great country, however there are certain elements that dampen the festival atmosphere of the event.
Chips on a Stick and Dutch Pancakes are two of the most popular stalls, and are overcrowding the festival with multiple sites, and lines as long as fifty metres. These lines inhibit crowd movement, causing dangerous bottlenecks on the festival site that pose a serious safety risk to all patrons.
I propose that these two stalls be removed from the multicultural festival in years to come, in order to facilitate crowd movement and safety, as well as to help patrons step out of their comfort zone and embrace other cultures they may not have encountered, which previously might not have been visible through the huge crowds of people blocking the frontage of other stalls while waiting for their Dutch pancakes.
