AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss Options for a 2020 Community Holiday Event.

BACKGROUND:

The Town of Addison hosts an annual free community holiday celebration at the Addison Conference Centre that serves 750-1,000 residents and employees. The 2019 Holiday Brunch and Open House served approximately 845 people and featured a catered buffet meal with indoor dining, holiday music performances, inflatable attractions, craft activities, face painting, balloons, and professional photographs with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The total cost of the 2019 event was $46,247.

Due to the closure of the Addison Conference Centre and current limitations on large social gatherings, the event is unable to take place in its usual format. Staff will present several alternate options for the December 2020 celebration and seek direction from Council on how to proceed.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff requests direction from Council.
