The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario says is it suspending the licence of a bar on Queen Street West for 60 days after a 19-year-old was found dead inside
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario says is it suspending the licence of a bar on Queen Street West for 60 days after a 19-year-old was found dead inside.
The provincial agency says the 19-year-old was sitting with a group in the VIP area, where they were served three large bottles of liquor. “This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the critical responsibility licensees have to prioritize the safety of their patrons. We trust a 60-day suspension of their liquor licence will motivate the licensee to take all necessary actions to ensure responsible service and the safety of their patrons,” Dr. Karin Schnaar, AGCO’s CEO, said in the release.
The provincial agency says it has been working closely with the Toronto Police Service, who laid separate charges under the Liquor Licence and Control Act. That matter is currently in front of the courts, the AGCO adds.
