A Community Unites for Alcohol-Free Festivities

0 Comments

The Liquor Act R-025-2023 establishes a Temporary Prohibition Order for the Charter Community of K’ásho Got’iné in the Northwest Territories. This order was enacted at the request of the community council to temporarily ban the consumption, sale, and transportation of alcohol during significant local celebrations, specifically National Indigenous Peoples Day and Sahtu Day in 2023. The K’ásho Got’iné community council recognized the need to create a safe environment during these important cultural events, which occur from June 19 to June 26, 2023. Aware that large gatherings can lead to challenges related to alcohol consumption, the council sought the Minister of Finance’s assistance to officially designate this period as a prohibition zone.
