Moved by

Seconded by

Whereas the

And whereas
numerous Markham charities and community organizations depend financially on
the continued operation of Bingo Country at 22 Heritage Road;
And whereas
the principle of a level playing field for the hospitality business is very
important in achieving the goal of no smoking in public indoor spaces across
the GTA;
Now therefore
be it resolved that the Town of Markham endorses a level playing field with
regard to the treatment of bingo halls in the Region of York No-Smoking By-law;
And that the
Town of Markham requests the Region of York to amend the No-Smoking By-law by
changing the permitted DSR size for bingo halls to 50% of the occupiable floor
space in order to match the City of Toronto.
