P.A. council focused on alcohol wording change
P.A. city councillors lawyers for the city continue to work their way through a process they hope will allow them to limit liquor store hours.
The matter is under provincial jurisdiction, but the city is hoping a small tweak to the laws could grant municipalities the power to set their own hours.
“We’ve suggested a few short words could be added to the regulations that would allow municipalities to clearly legislate in this area,” city solicitor Mitchell Holash told council during a recent meeting.
The city is drafting a resolution on the matter to bring to the February meeting of SUMA, the organization representing Saskatchewan cities.
