African Medical and Research Foundation (Canada)

(Downtown)

 The Toronto Community Council recommends that Council, for liquor licensing purposes, declare the fundraising event to benefit the African Medical and Research Foundation (Canada) to be held in the St. Lawrence Market North and in the adjacent parkette to the west of the market, on May 28, 1998, to be an event of municipal significance and indicate that it has no objection to it taking place.

  The Toronto Community Council submits the communication (March 31, 1998) from Ms. Elizabeth Dove, Assistant Director, African Medical and Research Foundation:

 I am writing to inform you of a fundraising event being held on Thursday, May 28th, 1998 to benefit the African Medical and Research Foundation (Canada). The event is to take place in the St. Lawrence Market North and in the adjacent parkette to the west of the market. An enclosed tent will occupy the parkette area. Attendees will enter through the tent which will provide direct, enclosed access for attendees to enter the St. Lawrence Market North. There will be public access of at least 10 feet wide between the west side of the tent and the next building so that the public can walk across the park. Please see attached map.

 We are working with the Department of Parks and Recreation to ensure that their requirements are met. We are also applying for a Special Occasion Liquor Permit.

 If you have any questions about this event, please do not hesitate to call me at (416) 601-6981.
