A 48-year-old man in Winnipeg who says his right leg was to be amputated due to an infection came out of the medical procedure to find out his left leg was amputated instead. Jason Kennedy knew he may eventually lose both legs to the infection but he still has questions about what happened.

A pub in Campbell River was given a $1,000 fine after an employee started yelling “liquor inspectors” and pointing at the inspectors when they arrived at the establishment.

On May 25, 2024, two liquor inspectors attended J. J.’s Pub around 11:37 p.m.

When they first arrived, they provided ID to the employee at the door, which identified them as liquor inspectors. The employee returned their ID’s to them, and said they had to pay the $15 cover to enter.

The inspectors then told the employee that they did not need to pay since they were liquor inspectors who were there to conduct an investigation.

“The employee looked surprised and held out his hand to prevent the liquor inspectors from entering further into the Pub. The liquor inspectors continued to walk forward into the Pub,” the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch ruling says.

“The employee started walking beside liquor inspector 1 on her left side and started yelling ‘liquor inspectors’ while pointing at the liquor inspectors. The employee appeared to be trying to get the attention of another employee standing behind the bar.”

The inspectors conducted a quick investigation, but left because they felt unsafe due to being identified. Both say that patrons at the bar turned to watch them after the employee shouted they were liquor inspectors.

Manager denies employee was shouting or swore at inspectors

The manager of the pub says the employee did not shout to identify the liquor inspectors, but admits that due to the loud music may not have heard shouting until they were close to the bar.

Additionally, the manager says the employee had worked at the pub for six years and was a “nice and kind person who would not use swear words like that.”

After the incident, there was not additional training provided to the employees to remind them to not identify liquor inspectors.

The manager also said that the Terms and Conditions handbook which says liquor inspectors can’t be identified is kept beside the till, and said the previous manager would have gone through the handbook with employees seven years ago when they opened with the new owner.

Handbook prevents identification of liquor inspectors for safety

During an inpsection, the liquor licence terms and conditions and manual identifies a number of requirements for licensees during enforcement.

Licensees are required to always comply with the Liquor Control and Licensing Act, allow inspectors or police to enter and not impede their way, and never draw attention to liquor inspectors.

“Drawing the attention of patrons to the fact that inspectors, minor agents contracted to the branch, and/or police are present in your establishment may put the safety of the inspectors, minor agents contracted to the branch, and police at risk,” the terms and conditions manual says.

“Accordingly, your actions must not cause the attention or focus of patrons to shift towards inspectors, minor agents contracted to the branch, or police at any time; including at the time of entry, during an inspection, or when exiting your establishment.”

Establishment given option of $1K fine or one-day licence suspension

J. J.’s Pub was given the option of paying a $1,000 fine for the infraction or having a one-day suspension of the licence, and the pub chose the monetary penalty.

The range in fines for this ranged from a one to three-day suspension, or a $1,000 to $3,000 fine.
