The York Community Council submits the following communication (June 5, 1998) from Councillor Frances
Nunziata, York-Humber:
I am attaching for your information or any attention deemed necessary, a communication dated May 17, 1998 from Mr.
Henry Formosa, President, Maltese Canadian Federation, requesting the use of Lambton Park for the annual Maltese
Community Festival. Approval was granted by the York Commissioner of Community Services to hold this event on
Sunday, June 28, 1998.
It is my understanding that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requires that all Community Festivals be
designated by either a resolution of the municipal council or a delegated municipal official. I am attaching a copy of that
designation from the York Commissioner of Community Services dated June 3, 1998, as well as the completed application
form.
Also, as required, I have forwarded a copy of Mr. Formosa's communication to the appropriate Police division for their
information.
Should you require any further information, please contact Susan Mastromatteo at 394-2400.
(Copies of the correspondence referred to in the foregoing communication were forwarded to all Members of Council with
the agenda of the York Community Council meeting of June 24, 1998, and copies thereof are on file in the Clerk's
Department, York Civic Service Centre.)
