They would have to show that insurance is arranged for the event as per the requirements of the by-law. They'd have to have medical staff on hand and appropriately trained people serving alcohol. The logical group that should be organizing this is the Laurier Students' Union. They are also the logical group who should be paying for it. I don't personally think it's the city's responsibility to organize a drinking party for the students, but maybe we can just chalk that up to personal differences.
Why shouldn't the city do it? The city is the one with the problem with the current situation.
The students don't care, the university clearly doesn't care, the city is the one with the problem. The city also organizes and runs many events of the scope of this one...their choice not to here is intentional.
Heck, they already know what the budget should be.
