Dear Scarborough-Guildwood Residents <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The City of Toronto’s LiciousTO programs, Winterlicious and Summerlicious, have become well-attended annual events with over 200 restaurants participating. However, of the 200 restaurants participating in 2019’s Summerlicious only 3 were from the Scarborough community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the application process for Winterlicious 2019 behind us\nthis is our opportunity to work towards 2020 LiciousTO events to encourage and\ninvite Scarborough restaurants to participate and showcase their food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On October 16th<\/sup> the Economic and Community\nDevelopment Committee adopted my request for the General Manager of Economic\nDevelopment and Culture to report on the following at the December 4th<\/sup>\nmeeting of the Economic and Community Development Committee: <\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nEfforts taken by the City of Toronto to enhance participation of\nScarborough restaurants in Toronto’s Winterlicious\/Summerlicious program<\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nInformation on the number of restaurants located in Scarborough that\nhave participated in the program in the past 5 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nMeasures taken to source locations within Scarborough<\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nCurrent City-wide marketing efforts made to invite restaurants to\nparticipate <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eligibility Criteria to participate in the Winterlicious and\nSummerlicious programs are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nBe an existing, full-service restaurant <\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nBe located in the City of Toronto<\/p>\n\n\n\n – \nPossess a current Dine Safe Green Pass issued by Toronto Public Health<\/p>\n\n\n\n To qualify a restaurant must also demonstrate that the\naverage price of a three-course meal on the restaurants regular lunch and or\ndinner menu meets the minimum requirements below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Scarborough has a wealth of wonderful restaurants from every\nnation in the world, inviting them to participate would greatly enhance the\nculinary experience for all while providing Scarborough’s restaurants the\nexposure they merit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The very culinary diverse food sector we have in Scarborough\nparallels our population and I think we can do a better job at boosting\nScarborough’s participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More details on the application process and application\ndeadlines for LiciousTO 2020 events can be found here.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Winterlicious \/ Summerlicious\n Price Point Categories\n <\/td> \n Minimum Requirements for
