US EditionVancouver Island Restaurant Fined $7k After Serving Minor
- The Social Restaurant & Lounge in Campbell River was fined $7,000 on May 5, 2025, for serving liquor to a minor during an inspection on February 2, 2025.
- The fine resulted from an inspection that involved using a minor employed as part of a special compliance initiative, during which a server provided a Corona beer without verifying the minor’s age, violating regulations.
- The establishment has policies requiring ID from anyone appearing under 30 and conducts daily pre-shift meetings, but lacked refresher training and formal incident tracking, failing the due diligence test.
- Paul Devine, the general manager's delegate, concluded that the licensee did not meet the required standard of due diligence, while the licensee’s representative described the violation as an isolated incident not experienced in 25 years.
- This minimum $7,000 penalty highlights ongoing compliance scrutiny in Campbell River, where six or seven venues were inspected and two others also failed to request ID from a minor.
