During the winter months, the Board of Directors reviewed our Food and Beverage procedures and worked with the Caterer and management to established policies designed to confirm the responsible consumption of alcohol on Club property.

As required under the liquor licence at the Club, all servers are “Smart Serve” trained and must conduct the service of alcohol as per “Smart Serve” requirements. This means that a server is required to stop serving alcohol to a person due to the appearance of intoxication.  The server`s decision is fully supported by the Board of Directors. 

As approved by the Board, the server is now to report each “discontinuance” to their supervisor and record the incident on a Club “ Intoxication Report” which is to be forwarded to the General Manager.  Please note that each instance requiring an Intoxication Report may be reviewed by the Disciplinary Committee which may result in disciplinary action.

It is important that each member conduct themselves in a responsible manner when consuming alcohol. In the event that you reach a level which may impair your ability to drive, you are required to arrange for alternative means of leaving the Club either by receiving a ride from a friend or through our prearranged cab program.  If you require a cab due to the consumption of alcohol, please inform a member of our Food and Beverage Staff who will be pleased to arrange for taxi service to your home.  Please note that payment for the cab is the responsibility of the patron.

Through these steps, the Board believes that the Club will always provide an atmosphere of enjoyment while adhering to responsible consumption practices.
