Liquor Licences and Special Occasion Permits
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) regulates the service of alcohol in Ontario, whether at a private or public event, or an establishment. These regulations require you to provide notification to the Municipality, and in some cases obtain approval from the Municipality.
Special events or occasions and businesses within the Municipality of Port Hope who wish to serve alcohol must follow the requirements that have been established for our Municipality.

This permit allows you serve alcohol at private or public events such as wedding receptions, anniversary parties, birthday parties, funeral receptions, events open to the general public, industry promotional events, tailgate parties and auctions.
