Thomas-Henry asks how many event permits were denied
Thomas-Henry asks how many applications for events during the tournament window were denied and how many denials were due to World Cup events. Honda says the summer was unprecedented and the city will come back with specific data.
Now, we've heard a lot about the issues with permitting.
At the end of the day, were we able to get a sense of how many applications for events during the tournament window were ultimately denied?
And of those denials, which were specifically attributed to World Cup events versus traditional, as my colleagues mentioned, block parties or other annual events that communities...
Put together?
Thank you for the question.
We will, it was an unprecedented summer, so we'll have to get you, we'll have to come back to you with the data on the specifics around this summer.
I'll note that annual events were prioritized.
And so, you know, speaking in the general sense, typical block parties, any kind of summer celebration that usually occurs, we made every effort to make sure that it could go forward and was not affected by the World Cup.
