Big changes just hit Ontario’s venues and clubs — and the stakes have never been higher.

The newly passed Bill 10: Protecting Ontario through Safer Streets and Stronger Communities Act (effective June 4) imposes criminal liability on venue owners, landlords, and even staff (security, bartenders, managers) for any illicit drug activity occurring on their premises.

Key implications:

• Landlords/owners can face charges as "criminal accomplices"
• Staff risk prosecution if "permitting" drug use (even passively)
• Zero-tolerance approach for nightlife, event spaces & clubs

How can venues navigate this high-risk legal landscape? What steps MUST you take to protect your business and team?

We break down the bill’s fine print, hidden threats, and urgent compliance strategies in the latest episode of The Sentinel Mindset
