There were a total of five tickets issued in Cambridge, with four being associated to gatherings at private residences.

In Kitchener, two tickets were issued for one gathering at a private residence. Bylaw officers in Waterloo handed out three tickets for three different gatherings at homes.

Meanwhile, a party at an Airbnb was the reason for the lone bylaw ticket in North Dumfries.
