Drink Spiking in Our Communities

We have been highlighting the risks of ‘drink spiking’ during our pre season Information Sessions with client’s staff – This Fernie Forum post highlights it well, and is really worth a read. Remember that it can happen anywhere, not just specific resorts and communities:
We previously requested LCRB to have this topic included alongside the BC Government Alcohol Sense Campaign, as it a much more immediate risk to public safety and health, as over indulging in alcohol – Hopefully it will be included in the future.
In the meantime, please be aware of the risks, and how to protect yourselves from them. If you are a licensee, please make sure your staff are aware of what to look for, and what action they should take if they witness an incident; and to have measures in place to manage the risks to your customers.
