SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR LIQUOR LICENCE – HOLY SPIRIT
FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION OF KITCHENER-WATERLOO –
JUNE 10-12, 2011
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Kitchener has no objection to a liquor licence being issued to the Holy
Spirit Festival Association of Kitchener-Waterloo for an event to be held on June 10-12,
2011 at 1548 Fischer-Hallman Road East, Kitchener, and further,
That this event be declared a “Community Festival” for the purpose of applying for a
liquor licence, since this is a traditional Portuguese celebration of their heritage and
promotes unity and understanding within our community.
BACKGROUND:
Prior to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) issuing a liquor licence for this
type of event a resolution of Council is required recognizing the festival as a “Community
Festival”. Applicants for a community festival designation must be a registered charity or non-
profit corporation, or association organized to promote charitable, educational, religious or
community objects.
REPORT:
Correspondence has been received from Jose Lourenco, President of the Holy Spirit Festival
Association of Kitchener-Waterloo requesting permission to have a beer tent and serve
alcoholic beverages at the Kitchener Portuguese Club located at 1548 Fischer-Hallman Road
East, Kitchener during the annual Holy Spirit Festival.
This is an annual event that has been approved by Council for the past 10+ years.
