RTO7 hosted two free AGCO Workshops in partnership with the Town of Innisfil, November 17th, and the Town of Saugeen Shores and the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce, November 25th with over 30 attendees at each.  

The four-hour workshops covered everything event and festival organizers need to know about having alcohol served at a large event from applying for a liquor licence to insurance to site plans and rules and regulations. 
 
Information and experience was shared by the following speakers:
  • AGCO representatives:  Applying for a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) and working with your local inspector
