A social gaming event features raffles, blackjack and/or wheel of fortune tables as part of an occasion such as a dinner or dance sponsored by an applicant.

The event is licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), but the City must approve the event. Submit all documentation to the City's Gaming Services. Once approved by the City, the City forwards the approval letter with your application, fees and other materials to the AGCO.

All licence fees must be paid by cheque from the lottery trust account and signed by two officers. Cash and personal cheques are not accepted.
