I doubt that it would cause people to give up. If you're not breaking any rules then what's the worry? A few of my neighbours built some nice fire pits and am sure they wouldn't be offeneded by a one time permit.

I think you may have misunderstood. The proposed Permit structure is a "one time
PER USE" Permit. This would mean basically all fires would have to be Planned and a permit obtained prior TO EACH FIRE.
10 fires per summer .....10 trips to city hall and 10 permits.
Even if the permits came at a cost of $5 bucks each, The policy would go over like a lead balloon and would just be taken as another City of Calgary "No Fun Allowed" policy.
Like I said, I predict fire pits will be banned in "The City that Fun Forgot" by summers end.
