and understand these laws and policies prior to the beginning of their shifts. Additionally, the ehair(s) of the concession stand and some additional LCRA members will be enrolling in an alcohol sale safety training course in July 2012 that outlines proper and safe alcohol sale to increase knowledge, safety, and thoroughness of all concession workers. "Chose that attend this training will be passing along the information to all persons behind the concession stand prior to their shifts. In keeping more in line with the alcohol sales at Canadian Days' beer tent, the LCRA will limit sales to a maximum of four per person at their stand. The wooden "hall' racks" that were used in the past will only be used to assist customers in transporting their purchases. The LCRA will increase signage reinforcing responsible drinking and the illegal distribution of alcohol to underage individuals. We will also reserve the right refuse to serve anyone at anytime as we see fit. The volleyball and kittenball coordinator(s) will he posting updated rules on the LCRA website, and reminding teams periodically before the tournaments, that any participants playing in either tournament must be at least 18 years of age. Additionally, new rules will be posted stating that any participants under the age of 21 that are seen drinking an alcoholic beverage will be disqualified from the tournament immediately, and will not be allowed to participate again until (s)he reaches 21 years of age. At the end of the day, our biggest concern at Canadian Days is that all attendees have a safe and enjoyable time while celebrating our community together. We would like the opportunity to implement our new and improved ideas and policies this year. We plan to re- evaluate all of our policies and procedures each year, as we have done in the past, to ensure that we are always improving. We want to continue to be a part of this celebration of our city and will do our part to keep the event safe for all. We would like to thank the members of the city council that graciously agreed to meet with us to discuss the new safety plan and offer their input, ideas, and feedback. We have implemented these ideas into our new safety plan and believe that it will ensure a positive outcome at this year's Canadian Days Celebration. We look forward to discussing this information and any additional questions or concerns you may have at the upcoming city council meeting. Respectfully submitted, Tim Zarembinski, President Little Canada Recreation Association 3
