TO: Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee 
FROM: Sonja Zupanec, Island Planner

SUBJECT: Application to change an existing liquor licence 
 Applicant: Kathy Bond 
 Location: 1 Weldon Road, Lasqueti Island – Lasqueti Island Hotel 
RECOMMENDATION 
1. That the Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee request staff to inform the Liquor Control and Licensing 
Branch (LCLB) that  it  has  considered  application LA-LCB-2017.1 (Lasqueti  Hotel) for a ‘Liquor  Primary 
Structural Change Application’ and will not be providing comments.  
2. That the Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee request staff to prepare an amendment to the Lasqueti 
Island Fees Bylaw No. 85 to set a fee for reviewing Liquor Control Licensing Branch applications. 
REPORT SUMMARY 
The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) have requested the owners/operators of ‘The Lasqueti Hotel’ to 
apply for an application for a structural change liquor primary application. The requested change to the existing 
licence allows for an increase in the occupant load to the pub and outdoor patio.  This is a result of an audit by 
the LCLB that  discovered the  liquor licensing did not accurately reflect the stated and potential occupancy. The 
Hotel has  hosted  numerous  events and  been  in  operation  without  the  adequate occupancy  limits  reflected  in 
their license. As per Section 11.1 of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act, local governments are notified of and 
requested to provide comments on liquor licence applications (including changes to existing liquor licences).  
BACKGROUND 
The LCLB became  aware  of  the  limitations  of  The Hotel’s existing  liquor  licence  during  an  audit. The liquor 
inspector identified that the existing liquor licence (maximum occupancy 30 in the pub and 35 on the patio) was 
insufficient. The request is for a maximum of 161 occupants in the pub and 155 on the patio.
