Businesses Have More Time to Make Outdoor Patios Permanent

The Temporary Expanded Liquor Service Areas extended to December 31, 2024. Businesses wanting to make their current TESA permanent must apply through the Liquor and Cannabis Licensing Portal for a new outdoor patio permanent structural change (for indoor TESAs), or a new interior service area permanent structural change (for outdoor TESAs). Permanent approval of expanded service areas must meet all local bylaws and requirements (e.g., related to parking, building codes and the use of public land).
