Effective January 1, 2023, if you have received municipal or Band Council approval for a temporary outdoor physical extension (temporary patio), you are required to then notify the AGCO before you start selling and serving liquor on this temporary patio.

You will need to tell us:

1. The start date that liquor will be sold and served on the temporary patio
2. How many months per year you have been approved to operate the temporary patio
3. The months that you intend to operate the temporary patio
4. The expiry date of your approval (if applicable)
5. A description of the location and dimensions of the temporary patio
6. Any conditions specified on the approval by the municipality or Band Council

You must also notify us if your approval is suspended or withdrawn, or if the conditions of the approval are changed or added:

• To make the notification you must submit a regulatory submission through your online iAGCOaccount
  • If you do not have an iAGCO account, see the iAGCO Tutorial video: How to create an iAGCO account
