Alcohol

Social functions involving the use of alcohol may be held within golf clubs, arenas and stadiums if they are considered to be appropriate by the City's Community Services Department and meet the criteria for a Special Occasion Permit. The Liquor Licence Act allows the sale of beer, wine and alcohol coolers at the Fort William Gardens, the Royal Canadian Legion Track/Fort William Stadium and Port Arthur Stadium. All events on City property must follow the policies and procedures outlined in the 'Alcohol Risk Management Policy' available from the Community Services Department.
