Hours of sale, capacity, and where liquor may be served. A permit can set conditions such as permitted hours, occupancy, and the areas where liquor may be served. Breaking these conditions is a contravention.

Question 2

In Saskatchewan, may a server keep selling liquor after the permitted hours of sale have ended?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

No, sales must stop at the time set by the permit and the law. Liquor may only be sold and served during the hours allowed by the permit and regulations. Serving after hours is a violation that can lead to penalties.

Question 3

What should staff do if an SLGA inspector or police officer asks to see the establishment's permit or records?

Cooperate and provide them as required. Permittees and staff must cooperate with SLGA inspectors and police. Obstructing an inspection is itself a contravention.

Question 4

Retailers and outlets authorized by SLGA under the appropriate permit. Retail sale of packaged liquor is controlled by SLGA. Only outlets with the proper authorization may sell liquor for off-premise consumption, and all sellers must follow the same age and intoxication rules.
