their home games. While the majority
of Lambton Shores council are okay
with the request, Deputy mayor Eliza-
beth Davis Dagg wanted to wait to see
what this group's fundraising commit-

The letter to council from Roop
Chanderdat, the president and general
manager of the Predators said, "Our
organization wishes to be exempt from
the current alcohol policy so that we
can run a bar during our home games."
He said they met with representatives
from the Municipality of Lambton
Shores (Mr. Hill Bentley, Ms. Peggy Van
Mierlo- West and Ms. Shannon Prout)
at the Shores Arena to discuss location
and general logistics surrounding this
venture. "Based on this site visit we
concluded that the rear of the arena
(NW Corner) would be the location
most suitable for the bar and liquor
consumption. We would like this area
to include the first 2 rows of Section E"
Chanderdat added they understand
that public safety is top priority and
they will be using bartenders with
smart serve as well as providing secu-
rity at bar entryways. "We are looking

the proceeds for their fundraising needs."
Davis-Dagg suggested they first Investigate the
fundraising committee and thought they (coun-
cil) was premature in agreeing to this until they
heard back. Mayor Hill Weber said they could ref-
erence that request back in the report but Davis
Dagg said they couldn't make a final decision.
Councilor Doug Bonesteel said they could wait
for a staff report with those details. Councilor
Underwood said before Van Mierlo West left she
said she had the report. Weber agreed and said
this report would have to talk to hours of opera-
tion and such. Davis Dagg asked if they could
agree in principal until they hear from this
fundraising committee. "We are putting the cart
before the horse. We have not done our home-
work," she said. Bonesteel said, "I don't know
about homework but a precedent has been set
(with the Legacy Centre's Dirty Dogs) and we are
just waiting for a report. The motion passed with
Davis Dagg and Doug Cook voting against. Cook
told the Lakeshore Advance, "While 1 support the
controlled sale of alcohol at the Predators home
games at the Shores Arena in Forest, 1 also sup-
port our recently approved Municipal Alcohol
Policy, which prohibits alcohol sales in tiered
seating and is the policy now in place for the
Medford Legacy Centre."
