As the city filed it

The Etobicoke Rotary Ribfest has been an annual Canada Day associated event in Etobicoke Centennial Park for several decades. In 2026, the event will be held at the Cloverdale Mall parking lot due to restrictions in the park which overlap with this year's event. The Etobicoke Rotary Ribfest 2026 is from June 26th from 12:00pm - 10:00pm, June 27th from 12:00 - 10:00pm and June 28th from 12:00pm - 10:00pm at Cloverdale Mall parking lot.

I fully endorse the plans to hold this event again, as was 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. The Etobicoke Rotary Ribfest is seeking permission to install temporary signage on City roads to support the event, as it has done in past years. The approval conditions ensure that there is a proven response procedure to address any signs which have generated a complaint, and ensure all signs are placed, maintained, and removed to the satisfaction of City Staff.

Staff recommended

Councillor Stephen Holyday recommends that: 1. Etobicoke York Community Council approve a special permit to the Rotary Club for their 2026 Ribfest event, and allow the placement of signage in accordance with the attached conditions.
