SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY FESTIVAL DESIGNATION -
OUR LADY OF FATIMA FESTIVAL - SEPTEMBER 5 & 6 -

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 5 & 6, 2009 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 Leonardo Melo, Festival Committee Leader, requesting Council to
designate this event as a “Community Festival”. They advise that this is a traditional
Portuguese religious celebration of their heritage that promotes unity and understanding within
their community. No problems have been experienced with this event in previous years.
