Enforcement & compliance

Source: AGCO (Ontario)

Ontario’s AGCO immediately suspended The South Branch Bistro’s liquor licence in Kemptville and proposed revoking it, the regulator said on 9 April 2021. The AGCO said the establishment hosted a lockdown protest on 8 April, where people consumed liquor, and was still serving patrons on its patio the following day despite shutdown restrictions. The licence holder may appeal to the Licence Appeal Tribunal.

The interim suspension stops the bistro’s licensed alcohol service while the proposed revocation can be appealed.
