Endorsement of Event for Liquor Licence Purposes -

The Black and White Polo Ball -

Docks Restaurant/Night Club (Downtown)

 The Toronto Community Council recommends that:

 (1)Council, for liquor licensing purposes, declare that it is aware of the Black and White Polo Ball taking place at The Docks Restaurant/Night Club on June 11, 1998, and indicate that it has no objection to it taking place; and

 (2)the applicant and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario be advised that this endorsement applies solely to the extension of the liquor licence and that all other restrictions, including noise on the patio, remain in force.

  The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (April 27, 1998) from Ms. Wendy Elliott, Polo Ball Coordinator, Black and White Polo Ball:

 Please accept the following letter as a request for The Black & White Polo Ball to be recognized as a municipally significant event for the purposes of licensing.

 The 1998 Black & White Polo Ball is a gala fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and will be held on June 11 at the Docks Restaurant/Night club. The event will run from 8 pm to 2 am.

 This year we will be selling between 2300-2500 tickets and hope to raise more than $150,000 in support of heart and stroke research and health promotion. It is a much anticipated event in the Toronto community and also remains an important vehicle to entertain our international visitors playing in our Polo for Heart tournament.

 For your reference, attached are samples of correspondence from last year when we applied for the same status with the North York city clerk.

 If you have any further questions regarding this event, please call me at 416-506-8887. Otherwise, I will be in touch in the near future to discuss this request.

 Thank you for your time and consideration.
