As an organization based in City of Little Canada, we would encounter innumerous obstacles to obtain a premises permit in other municipalities. It is entirely possible other cities would not grant us a permit. Therefore, it is only fair and reasonable that we should be treated and /or protected more favorably than non - residents in our own municipality. b. If the past is any indication, all three(3) charities based in the City contributed far more to the community and residents of the City than any non - resident. 100% of the net proceeds of lawful gambling by the Fire Dept will be spent as in the past, for the well -being and benefit of the City residents. 2. The Fire Department should be the one permitted to operate another Bingo night at the Hall for the following reasons: a. As we have been conducting the lawful gambling at the Hall since November of 1987, we are definitely interested, willing, able and ready to conduct another night of lawqful gambling, provided we can obtain a lease with reasonable terms.(we have heard that the city council was informed by certain parties that we were not interested in operating another Bingo night, . but that is simply not true). b. As you know, 100% of net proceeds generated from the operation will be spent, as in the past, for the well -being and benefits of the city residents. c. Due to the just one -night a week operation at the Hall, we are at an economic disadvantage compared to other charities who operate two nights a week and are concerned about the long- term viability of our operaion at the Hall. However, two nights per week will enhance the future viability of our operations significantly due to the economic savings from the additional night per week. d. As we understand, the other two City based organiza- tions are supportive of our interest to add another night of operation at the Hall. Page 67
