AGCO gives Central Huron solutions for buck and does
Melissa Murray

Representatives froth the Alcohol
and Gaming Commission of Ontario
gave Central 1luron some solutions
that would allow their ti ('ilities to host
buck and dues within the organiza-
tion's rules, at council's April 9 com-
mittee of the whole.
OPP Seargeant Mike Pierzchalski
told council his office deals with
70,((X) special occasion permits every
year and his presentation centred on
private functions like weddings, bridal
showers, birthdays and buck and
does.
"'the reason I'm here is risk and lia-
bility," he said.
In unlicensed facilities, including all
of Central Huron's 1 lalls (Kinburn,
Auburn, the CI ICC and Lontleslxtto),
stag and (foes as they exist today, can't
be permitted.

money for the bride and groom as
possible," he said.
'l'o comply with the rules of a pri-

ers cannot intend to profit from the
sale of alcohol and no unlawful gam-
bling is permitted.
In 22 presentations, Pierzchalski

"'This doesn't Wrenn that if you buy a
$30 case of beer you can only sell it for
$30," he said, adding couples can
recover their costs, including the hall
rental, security, alcohol and food.
Pierzchalski recommended five
ways to snake money without the sale
of alcohol including charging a fee at
the door, setting up a get out of jail
game by donation, collecting dona-
tions to put a pie in the face of the
bride and groom, a silent auction
instead of a raffle, it live auction and,
finally, any game of skill, including a
toonie toss, darts or guessing the
number of jelly beans in a jar.
The other solution, he said, is to
license the municipality's facilities.
With licensed facilities, events can be
advertized, they are o(x'n to the public
an(1 organizers can profit from the sale
of alcohol.
Pierzchalski said the municipality
can protect itself by monitoring the
event themselves and snaking sure a
renter is compliant with the rules.
"Licensing not only greatly reduces
the municipality's risk, but in these
tough economic tithes where people
are trying to chop budgets, this
presents a brand new revenue stream
that will cost taxpayers zero dollars,"
he said.
If the municipality decided to
license its facilities they could enter
into a profit sharing or grant and
donation agreement with the renter to
have the profit he shared after the
costs are recovered.
Another benefit, explained
Pierzchalski is the ()PP will monitor
and secure the events, something they
won't do because they won't turn a
blind eye to regulatory infractions.
Central I luron currently requires duty
officers to secure buck and (foes under
their renters' policy.
