to the Beth Jacob Congregation to conduct a social gaming event at the Beth Jacob
Synagogue, 161 Stirling Avenue South, Kitchener, on September 14, 2011
BACKGROUND:
Provincial Regulations require that Social Gaming Events must be approved by Council before a

(AGCO).
REPORT:
A request has been received from the Beth Jacob Congregation for permission to hold a social
gaming event on September 14, 2011 at the Beth Jacob Synagogue, 161 Stirling Avenue South,
Kitchener. This event was originally scheduled for June 29, 2011 but was postponed by the
Congregation.
A social gaming event is a lottery event conducted as a secondary or complementary
component of a social occasion such as a dinner or a dance that is sponsored by the licensee of
the Social Gaming Event. This event will include blackjack tables and a wheel of fortune.
