CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS TUESDAY, MAY 23.

The Moose Jaw Lacrosse Association will be able to sell alcohol at the Kinsmen Arena during games that feature junior-age — under 22 — players after receiving permission from city council.

During its May 8 regular meeting, council voted 5-1 to let the association operate licensed events in the southwest corner of the arena during the next few months. The area will be fenced off up to the penalty box so fans can drink in one section of the bleachers while association board members will act as security.

Furthermore, minors cannot access the fenced area without an accompanying adult, while the Sportsplex’s concession will operate during games.

This approval is subject to the organization obeying the conditions outlined in the City of Moose Jaw’s alcohol use events policy.

Coun. Kim Robinson was opposed, while Coun. Jamey Logan recused himself from the vote because of a conflict of interest.

The specific dates include Wednesday, May 10, from 7 to 11 p.m., Sunday, May 28, from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday,
