It is the responsibility of any Person applying for a new Licence or renewing an
existing Licence,
to provide the required documentation, and
if applicable,
ensure that an inspection of the Premises is conducted to verify compliance
with Applicable Laws, including but not limited to the following:

As part of the review of an application for

existing Licence, relevant departments of the Town, or external agencies as
deemed necessary by the Licensing Officer, may provide comments on any
known matters that would assist in the determination of Licence eligibility.
The departments and external agencies referenced in section 10.2 may require
an inspection
of the Premises prior to providing comments on any known
matters that would assist with the determination
of Licence eligibility. The
Applicant or Agent shall cooperate and facilitate the inspection of the Premises
in a timely manner and must be in attendance during the inspection.
If the review of an application or an inspection of the Premises reveals that the
Premises does not comply with the requirements set out in this By-law or any
Applicable Laws, the Licensing Officer will notify the Applicant or Licensee and
provide them with twenty-one (21) days to correct the issue(s). The Applicant
or Licensee must notify the Licensing Officer

if deemed necessary by an Officer,
arrange for a re-inspection. Failure to correct the issue(s) and,

Fees
associated with re-inspections, as outlined
in the Town's Fees and Service

Where the Licensee's policy of liability insurance expires,
is cancelled, or is
otherwise terminated, the applicable Licence shall be automatically suspended
effective on the date of such expiration, cancellation, or termination and shall
remain so until such insurance has been reinstated. The Licensee shall be
required to provide proof of insurance to the Licensing Officer in order for the
Licence to be reactivated.
An administrative suspension of a Licence without a hearing shall be imposed
for up
to fourteen
(14) days
if the Licensing
Officer
is satisfied that the
continuation of the business poses an immediate danger to health and safety
of any Person or to any Premises or Property. Before imposing a suspension,
the Town shall provide the Licensee with the reasons for the suspension, either
orally or in writing, and an opportunity to respond to them.
An administrative suspension imposed under section 11.2 may be imposed on
such conditions as the Licensing Officer considers appropriate.

penalty, fine or conviction imposed by a Court or tribunal for a breach of this
By-law or any Applicable Laws.

Demerit points accumulated by a Licensee shall remain in effect for a period

of
this
By-law
or

is fourteen (14) or more in accordance with Schedule <A= of this By-Law. Where

(14) or more demerit points, no Person shall be entitled to apply for a Licence
for the subject Premises for a period of six (6) months from the date of refusal
or revocation of the Licence.
