New store draws complaint
The new Hensall liquor store has
barely been open for two weeks and
already it has drawn its first
complaint.
In an anonymous phone call to the
Times -Advocate a Hensall citizen
complained about the store's new sign
on Highway 4. The caller objected to
the sign being in French.
A visit to the liquor store confirm-
ed that while the sign does indeed an-
nounce the store's presence in
French, it does so in English as well.
"Anybody can see there's English
on that sign," challenged part-time li-
quor store employee Nancy Smith in
defense of the bilingual sign. She went
on to explain that the new sign is now
standard issue for all new liquor
stores and not only incorporates the
province's new initiative for bil-
ingulaism, but also includes the new
colours and the new logo for the liquor
control board. •
The new logo is styled to resemble
an open case of bottles as viewed
from above; and the flaps of the box
point in all four directions to sym-
bolize the origins of the store's pro-
ducts from all corners of the globe.
Jim Leal, regional director with the
liquor control board in London, con-
firmed that the new sign, reading "Li-
quor Store - Vins et Spiritueux", is
part of a province -wide three-year
program to change all liquor store
signs and, naturally, all new stores
get the new signs right away.
"In designated areas we have to
provide services in French too," add-
ed Leal, but noted this was un-
necessary for Hensall.
However, he did point out that the
Highway 4 location of the Hensall
store made the bilingual sign ideal for
attracting highway travellers.
When asked about the complaint,
Leal surmised that the complainant
represented only a very small portion
of the population. In fact, he was sur-
prised that such an opinion would be
voiced from this area because he had
always assumed there was a solid
French-Canadian background in the
region.
IT'S NEW — The sign for the new
Hensall Liquor Store is bilingual.
The board will change all signs
within three years, providing
nobod else com.lains.
"We have provided them with the
service," Leal stated in regard to the
requests for the liquor store in Hen-
sall, but he cautioned "if they support
it, it will stay. If not, we'll take it out
of there." -
MPP lack Riddell's office also
received the complaint about the sign
from an anonymous caller.
"One language is good enough for
Ontario," said the caller, who claim=
ed to have travelled in Quebec where
the liquor store signs are not
bilingual.
Nan Thomson, a spokesperson for
Jack Riddell, asked him about the
complaint. His reply wa,s, that the bil-
ingual signs are part of a`Liquor Con-
trol Board policy and are not related
to any provincial programs or legisla-
tion, including Bill 8.
