For the first time ever in southern Ontario, liquor went on sale at an LCBO Agency Store. } Commonplace in northern Ontario for more than 26 years, the LCBO Agency stores are now being tried in selected ru- ral communities in southern and eastern Ontario. The new agency store in Janetville is actually located within the IGA Store right in the heart of this picturesque hamlet of some 120 homes. More than 60 brands of lig- uor, wines_and beer will be on sale at the same prices found in regular LCBO outlets. The agency store is being operated by IGA store owners John and Dorothy Burn, and their son Robert. John Burn, a non-drinker, -- said the store has been in the . Burn family for over 100 years. In a brief ceremony last Wednesday morning (June 7) LCBO chairman Jack Akroyd, along with Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz and members of the Burn family snipped a bright red ribbon to mark the historic occasion. Mr. Ackroyd said the remains totally commit- ted to providing service for cus- tomers and its social responsi- bilities in the fight against alcohol abuse and drinking- driving. ; ncy stores were first es- tablished in northern Ontario in 1962 in remote areas whereit was was not economically vi- able to have a regular outlet. ville IGA store The expansion program that was started in Janetville last week will include four other stores in southern Ontario "to test the concept of extending service into small rural commu- nities." A further five stores will open in southern Ontario as the second phase of the program. Agency stores must be at least ten i from a regular LCBO outlet and must operate under LCBO guidelines and the Liquor Control Act of Ontario. MPP Sam Cureatz called the opening a "bold step," but he noted that the decision to sell al- cohol in the Janetville IGA was not without controversy. There are people in the community opposed to the idea. "But society must come to grips with the problems." "On balance, this (opening) is worthwhile. If the people of northern Ontario can manage for so many years, so can the ' people in southern Ontario," he stated. The store will be open Mon- day, Tuesday and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; and from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM Wednesday, Thursday and Sat- urday. GA employees who are at least 18 years of age are allowed to work behind thecounter. Mr. Burn said the fact he personally knows most of his customers will help avert prob- lems. Aside from people living in Janetville and immediate area, he expects the new service will draw customers from Bethany and the cottage area of Lake Scugog.
