The IW&FS Toronto Branch Board has constituted a “Alcohol Policy” for Members and Guest when attending IW&FS events. IWFS Toronto Branch Board and Members Responsibilities with respect to Alcohol Service at IW&FS Toronto Events. Members of the IW&FS and their guests are reminded that it is their responsibility to drink responsibly.

The Liquor Licence Act of Ontario states in part that:

The Board of Directors (“The Board”) of the IW&FS Toronto Branch (“The Branch”) will act to ensure that we are always compliant with the appropriate parts of the Liquor Licence Act of Ontario.

• It is the policy of the Branch that members and guests attending an event where alcohol is served will not drive to or from the event.
• The Board will endeavour to ensure that at all times one or more members of the Board are trained in the Smart Serve program, and will be in possession of a Smart Serve certificate.
• Only members and guests who are of legal drinking age may be served.
• Self-service of alcohol by members or guests is not permitted.
• Persons who, in the opinion of a member of the Board, appear to be intoxicated will be refused alcoholic beverage service.
• With the invitation to each event, a reminder of the Branch’s policy toward alcohol will be included and must be acknowledged by the member.
• From time to time the Board will review the alcohol service policy.

All members and guests must cooperate in the enforcement of this policy. All members of the Branch are equally responsible for, and encouraged to assist each other with, the enforcement of this policy.

The Board has developed this policy to ensure that the Branch is compliant with the law and in what it believes to be the best interests of the Branch, its members, and their guests.
