proof of the needs and wishes of the residents of the municipality for the
purposes of clause 6(2) (h) of the Act”;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT
Council petition the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to indicate that
it approves of the operation as a restaurant but to insure that it does not
