On October 23, 2008, Regulation 719 under the Liquor Licence Act was amended to allow for the sale and service of liquor in age-restricted auditoriums (patrons must be at least 19 years of age) at movie theatres. Prior to this, movie theatres were able to apply for a liquor sales licence for a lounge or concourse area, but patrons were not able to take their drinks into the auditoriums. This initiative is a pilot program that will run until November 30, 2009.
