the City of Kitchener Municipal Code in conjunction with an event at Victoria Park on June 4,

place on City property. Also, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requires a Council
Resolution designating an event of municipal significance prior to a liquor licence being issued
for this event.

A similar request was approved last year.
