MEMORIAL CUP RECEPTION SPONSORSHIP
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Kitchener provide a General Provision Grant of $3,750 to the Host
Committee for sponsorship of the 2008 Memorial Cup CHl Board of Governors
reception.
BACKGROUND:
The Memorial Cup is one of the most significant international hockey events held in Canada and
only takes place in Ontario once every three years. With an economic impact estimated to be
between $8 million and $10 million, this event is a significant boost to both the local economy as
well as the profile of the community across the country.
The key decision makers with the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) are the Board of Governors.
The local host committee in partnership with Peter Martins Restaurant and the City of Kitchener
would like to host a welcome reception for the Governors during the first weekend of the
Memorial Cup. This function will be attended by the Board of Governors of the CHL as well as
league officials.
REPORT:
The Memorial Cup Host Committee is suggesting a welcome reception as a new part of the
Memorial Cup programming. The Host Committee is asking the City of Kitchener to co-sponsor
the event in conjunction with Peter Martins Restaurant that would see each of the 3 parties split
the cost of hosting this function. The contribution being requested from the City is $3,750.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
A General Provision Grant would be recommended in the amount of $3,750. Attached is an
overall budget for the event. The General Provision Account balance as of March 17, 2008 is
$70,549.

CONCLUSION:
The support for the welcome reception for the Governors and CHL officials is a great way to
introduce these people to the community and say thanks to those associated with this
prestigious national event.
