AGCO suspends two Ottawa taverns’ liquor licences and proposes revocation
Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario’s AGCO suspended the liquor licences of Senate Sports Tavern and Senate South in Ottawa, citing public interest and safety. The regulator also proposed revoking both licences over an alleged Liquor Licence Act breach; the holders can appeal the proposals to the Licence Appeal Tribunal. The action followed a police inspection at Senate Sports Tavern on 29 November 2020, during which an owner was allegedly involved in an assault and was charged with offences.
The suspensions and proposed revocations affect the venues’ ability to operate with liquor licences while appeals remain possible.
