Recent provincial changes allowing “bring‑your‑own” alcohol at outdoor events are optional for municipalities. As per the Municipal Alcohol Policy, the Town of Midland does not permit Tailgate Event Special Occasion Permits and, after internal review, we will not be changing the policy to allow Tailgate (BYOB) events.
Purpose
It is recognized that the Town owns and manages facilities and parks where alcohol consumption requires regulation. The Town of Midland has developed a municipal alcohol policy to prevent alcohol-related problems that arise from alcohol consumption within its facilities and parks and to promote a safe, pleasant environment for those in attendance to enjoy and which will comply with Town policies and all legislation. By reducing the potential for alcohol-related problems, the Town of Midland and event organizers concurrently reduce their risk to liability actions.
Policy Statement
The Corporation of the Town of Midland is committed to providing a safe, secure and enjoyable environment for the patrons, staff, community members and visitors.
