How will risk-based licensing affect liquor licence renewals?
Under risk-based licensing, for each new liquor sales licence application, a risk assessment of both the applicant and the establishment will be carried out using criteria approved by the AGCO Board. A letter will then be sent to the licensee/applicant inviting him/her to provide comments on the proposed risk designation and conditions. The licensee/applicant will have a set time to provide comments, following which the Registrar will finalize the risk designation and conditions, and issue the licence.
