Origin
Summary
Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 553, Lottery Licensing ("Chapter 553"), currently authorizes the City Clerk to issue, renew, suspend, and cancel lottery licenses.
The Gaming Services Unit, responsible for lottery licensing, is currently organizationally located in Toronto Election Services in the City Clerk's Office. To improve service alignment, Gaming Services is being transferred to Municipal Licensing and Standards at the end of 2019. As a result of this organizational change, City Council must amend Chapter 553 to transfer authority to issue, renew, suspend, and cancel lottery licenses to the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards.
