SUBJECT:
REQUEST BY HOLY TRINITY SERBIAN ORTHODOX
CHURCH TO HOLD A SPECIAL EVENT – JULY 30 & 31,
2011
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church be approved to operate a special event at
Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church, 700 Fischer Hallman Rd., Kitchener on July 30 &
31, 2011 from 12 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. provided the necessary licence, including Health and
Fire approvals is obtained; and:
That the Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church be granted an exemption from Chapter
450 (Noise) of the City of Kitchener Municipal Code in conjunction with an event at 700
Fischer Hallman Rd., on July 30 & 31, 2011 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.; and further,
That this event be declared a “Community Festival” for the purpose of applying for a
liquor licence, since this is a religious celebration and promotes unity 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 Milos Posavljak requesting Council’s permission to
hold a special event, including the preparation of food and selling refreshments and alcohol, at
the Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church. The proceeds from the event will be used to
complete the painting of the icons in the church which was started a few years ago.
Council has approved similar requests for the last several years.
