Endorsement of Event for LLBO Purposes -
The Tranzac Club (Downtown)
The Toronto Community Council recommends that City Council advise the Liquor Licence of Ontario that it is aware of the following events taking place at the TRANZAC Club, 292 Brunswick Avenue, and has no objection to their taking place; nor to an extension of liquor licence #40010 to cover an outdoor marquee area and the front lobby during such events:
(1) Caravan - The Sydney-Auckland Pavilion - June 12 to 20, 1998, inclusive; and
(2) The Fringe of Toronto Festival - July 2 to 12, 1998, inclusive.
The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (February 4, 1998) from Jim Cook, President, Board of Directors, Toronto Australia New Zealand Club:
I am writing on behalf of the Toronto Australia New Zealand Club (The Tranzac) to request a notice of Municipal Clerk/Non Objection in writing. This is required in order for us to apply to the LLBO for an extension to our existing liquor licence no. 40010, to cover an outdoor marquee area and the front lobby.
The extension will be to cover the complete duration of two consecutive events. These events are as follows:
(1) Caravan - The Australian Pavilion - June 12 - 20, 1998 inclusive.
Contact: Jim Cook, President, Board of Directors, Tranzac at (416) 691-7108.
The Tranzac Club sponsors the Sydney-Auckland Pavilion which has proved to be one of the popular pavilions during Toronto=s Multi-Cultural Festival. The pavilion has won a number of awards since Caravan started and features a unique blend of ADown Under@ culture, entertainment and food: a traditional highlight is the performance by the Tranzac Maori Concert Party.
(2) The Fringe of Toronto Festival - July 2-12, 1998 inclusive.
Contact: Linda Keyworth - General Manager at (416) 534-5919.
The Fringe of Toronto Festival was established in 1989 and is dedicated to the promotion and prosperity of the independent theatre community. Since its founding, The Festival has demonstrated unprecedented growth. Attendance has increased by 40% in the last 3 years and this year, our Tenth Anniversary, The Fringe expects to attract 50,000 people to over 600 theatrical performances over an eleven day run. Over 90 companies from Ontario, across Canada and around the world are featured in noon to midnight programming at eight venues. Last year, The Fringe returned over $160,000 in box office revenue to the artists.
The Fringe continues to remain accessible to its audiences as well. All of its venues are within walking distance of each other in the Annex neighbourhood. The maximum ticket price is $8.00. The Ten by Ten Cabaret Series was a huge success in 1997 and will again present ten different cabarets over the run of The Festival, free of charge to the public. These cabaret performances are featured at The Toronto Australia New Zealand Club.
