Procedures for Exemptions for Festivals
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following:
(April 1, 1998) from Councillor Mike Tzekas:
WHEREAS festivals are held throughout the new City of Toronto; and
WHEREAS the Council of the former City of Scarborough had a policy and procedure to balance the needs of festival
organizers and the impact on adjoining neighbourhoods; and
WHEREAS it would be beneficial that festivals and those neighbourhoods that adjoin festival sites be dealt with equitably
throughout the City;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Scarborough Community Council recommend that Council request the
Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services to review and report to the Urban Environment and
Development Committee recommending the appropriate procedures for the consideration of a city-wide exemption for
festivals.
