Leslieville limits liquor license renewal

After final arguments on Feb. 14, the Liquor Control Board delivered its decision and ordered the immediate revocation of the liquor license of Cuong Ve Dang, the licensee of Dang Restaurant.

The revocation resulted from the efforts of Leslieville residents and councillor Paula Fletcher to oppose the transfer of the license to the new owners of the restaurant that has opened under the name Fiona’s in the same location.

According to Fletcher, the revocation “was no small feat. It shows how much we can accomplish when a community works together.”

Notice of an application for a new license has been posted in the window of Fiona’s at 99 Pape St.. The notice gives area residents until March 1 to file an objection to the new license with the provincial regulators.
