The following motion has been brought forward by Mayor Guthrie for consideration regarding the extension of dining districts:
- That in an effort to keep people employed, to encourage physical distancing in-line with Public Health guidelines to fight COVID-19 and to provide additional supports for local restaurants and shops within the City of Guelph, Council directs staff to extend any and all applicable zoning or bylaws that allow sidewalk or on street patios and applicable dining districts within the city’s right-of-way spaces until January 1st, 2021.
- That $2,500 from The Office of The Mayor budget be allocated to staff within Guelph Tourism to work collaboratively with the Downtown Guelph Business Association for the creation and programming of a pedestrian only “Christmas Market” at an agreed upon date(s) within the upcoming holiday season to encourage local retail spending and hospitality support. And that staff look to leverage this opportunity by seeking private sector sponsorship for further programming or to offset additional costs.
Mayor Guthrie will speak to this item.
