On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Annual Rotary Club Canada Day Ribfest is an annual event that is held in Centennial Park in conjunction with City of Toronto Canada Day celebrations. The annual event is from June 28 through July 1, 2019 at Centennial Park from 11:00 am - 11:00 pm daily. I fully endorse the plans to hold this event again this year as we have done in previous years. Municipal Code Chapter 693 outlines the requirements for signs being used to advertise charitable, non-profit and community events, and does not permit variance or appeal to the criteria which regulate temporary signage.
