Sun 19 July, 7am, Dear Michael: Yes I entered through the south gate, the Visitor Centre. I addressed the lady at the admission desk, and do not remember the exact conversation, but I asked if the Native Festival was free, and she answered, no, I had to pay admission. I showed her the Festival flyer, and said the internet website said the Festival was free, to which she replied, yes the Festival was free, but it was being held outside the Fort, and if I went into the Fort I would have to pay admission. Perhaps she misunderstood me. It seems one group of persons at FY did not know what the group was doing. "It is fully accessible..." - if you can reach it! I am physically fit, and only need a cane occasionally. I can walk down the stairs from Bathurst Street, around the construction fences and construction equipment, the lawn, and the rest or the obstacle course, but what about a man in a wheelchair, or a woman with a walker? If the East Gate was open, handicapped persons could have simply walked in. It is a good thing I made a reconnaissance before I brought any of Evangel Hall's other residents! Yours truly, Paul
