Enforcement & compliance

Source: AGCO (Ontario)

Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) immediately suspended EFS Social Club’s liquor licence in Toronto and proposed revoking it, the regulator said. The AGCO cited an alleged failure to use a metal detector on every person entering, as required by a licence condition, after a fatal shooting was reported at the venue on 17 July 2022. The club may appeal the proposal to the Licence Appeal Tribunal.

The suspension bars the venue from selling or serving alcohol while the proposed revocation is subject to appeal.
