Preamble

The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Student Federation Incorporated (hereinafter referred to as S.S.F.) recognizes that it is part of an academic community committed to student success and that its main purpose is to enhance the quality of student life. This commitment includes a safe and welcoming environment where all students and their guests may engage in approved social activities, including alcohol-related events.

The overall aim of the Alcohol Protocol is to reduce problems and manage risk associated with drinking by creating and maintaining an environment which values, promotes and reinforces responsible alcohol use and alternatives to drinking. The S.S.F. takes the position that all of its members have an obligation to make legal and responsible decisions concerning their conduct and alcohol use or non-use. The S.S.F. will intervene when alcohol is used illegally or when its abuse leads to conduct that endangers the individual(s) involved or others, or that results in damage to the property of the S.S.F. or of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø College, disrupts other activities, or interferes with the rights of other persons.

The service and consumption of alcoholic beverages is governed by the Liquor Licence Act of Ontario. Contravention of the Act could result in the S.S.F. losing its Licence(s). The S.S.F. holds licences issued by the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) for the provision and service of alcohol in specific locations and under specific circumstances. Also, under the Ontario Occupier's Liability Act, the S.S.F. is responsible for exercising reasonable care for the safety of anyone on its property, regardless of the nature and extent of the risk.

The requirements outlined in this protocol are intended to manage alcohol use on campus and at S.S.F. sanctioned events off campus in a way that is consistent with the law and other relevant policies, and protects the S.S.F. from liability with respect to alcohol-related incidents.

1. Purpose

1. To ensure that all S.S.F. pubs have operating policies and procedures which comply with the law, other S.S.F. established policies and relevant ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø College policies in order to provide the students of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø College and their guests with a safe environment in which to consume alcohol;
2. To ensure that the S.S.F. has an educational program in place which promote alcohol awareness and responsible drinking;
3. To discourage high risk alcohol-related practices which endanger individuals, interferes with academic and other College activities or results in damage to S.S.F. or College property;
4. To protect the S.S.F. from liability with respect to alcohol-related activities;
5. To protect ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø College from liability with respect to alcohol-related activities.
