They would like to open to the public for educational tours and tasting and hence as per the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requirements have requested a letter from local council, as follows: "Written notice from the council of the municipality within which the applicant's production site is located, confirming that it has passed a resolution in support of the issuance of the endorsement". The reason for the urgency is that the business is up for manufacturer's renewal in May, and they would like to process this as part of that application, but the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario will need also take some time to provide the endorsement. They have agreed to process it as quickly as possible as well, for this reason. Additionally, the distillery is hosting their grand opening for their tour function on May 2, 2025, for which this license would be necessary.
