REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY FESTIVAL DESIGNATION-
OUR LADY OF FATIMA FESTIVAL - SEPTEMBER 3 & 4,
2005 - 1548 FISCHER-HALLMAN ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Kitchener has no objection to a liquor licence being issued to Our Lady of
Fatima Festival Committee for an event to be held September 3 & 4, 2005 at 1548 Fischer-
Hallman Road, Kitchener, provided a building permit is obtained for the erection of any tents;
and further,
That the 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 that promotes unity
and understanding within our community.
BACKGROUND:
A Council resolution is required prior to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission issuing a Liquor
Licence for this event. A similar request was approved by Council last year.
REPORT:
Attached is a letter from Victor Gomes, Festival Committee President, requesting Council to
designate this event as a Community Festival. He advises that this is a traditional Portuguese
religious celebration of their heritage that promotes unity and understanding within our
community. No problems have been experienced with this event in previous years.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
