On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is requesting consideration by the City of Toronto to be declared, for liquor licensing purposes, as an event of municipal significance and for the City to advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that the City has no objection to the event taking place. The City of Toronto, at its meeting of March 27 and 28, 2019, by resolution in Item EX3.7, established criteria for the City Clerk to declare, for liquor licensing purposes, of an event as municipally significant and to advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that the City has no objection to the event taking place.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is seeking temporary liquor licences for the establishments listed in Attachment 1. The City Clerk's delegated authority cannot be exercised for some of these premises as they are requesting extensions that do not meet the criteria for the City Clerk's delegated authority (for example, serving of alcohol outdoors later than 11 pm).

Staff recommended

Councillor Cressy recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council consider the request from TIFF to be designated as an "event of municipal significance" and to consider the requests for extended licensed hours or areas listed in Attachment 1 and recommend to City Council endorsements of extensions to licensed hours or areas.
