POLICY STATEMENT
To establish the responsibilities and the procedures for user groups to occasionally apply for a liquor license for private functions at the Coca-Cola Centre.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the Coca-Cola Centre unless specific approval has been given by Community Services and a special event liquor licence for private functions has been obtained.
REASON FOR POLICY
The City of Grande Prairie is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and enjoyable atmosphere during facility functions at the Coca-Cola Centre. The related procedures are provided to ensure the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol at approved private functions. These procedures will form the basis for practices that will guide the Coca-Cola Centre administration in its provision of effective alcohol management. The policy and procedures will apply to all users of the Coca-Cola Centre: patrons, employees, tenants, contractors and user groups.
VIOLATION OF POLICY
Violation of this policy and procedures will result in denial of the licensee to obtain a special event liquor licence for the Coca-Cola Centre again. Instances of blatant infractions could result in suspension or loss of ice.
Licensees in violation of Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) rules and regulations will be reported to the AGLC and/or RCMP and may face fines or prosecution.
