Today, in collaboration with City of Greater Sudbury By-law Services, Public Health Sudbury & Districts and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, GSPS Officers charged the Owner of one local business and issued a ticket to the Manager of a second business for Fail to Comply under Ontario Regulation 364/20 of the Reopening Ontario Act (A Flexible Response to COVID-19).

The Owner of a pub on Cedar Street was charged with Fail to Comply and was released on an Undertaking with a Court date of May 4, 2021 while the Manager of a sports bar on Notre Dame Avenue was issued a ticket for Fail to Comply with a set fine of $750.00.

The decision to charge the Owner of the pub rather than issue a fine was based on numerous complaints received by our agencies regarding a complete disregard of the regulations under the Reopening Ontario Act and the fact that the Owner and staff of the business were educated, spoken to and then warned by various members of our agencies over the past couple of months.

In collaboration with our partners, we will continue to proactively and reactively inspect businesses in Greater Sudbury in order to ensure COVID-19 safety precautions are in place and that businesses and patrons are following Ontario Regulation 364/20.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the owners and staff of businesses that continue to adapt throughout the pandemic and who are working hard to ensure the health, safety and well-being of our community.
