Local 7-Eleven among 61 stores applying for liquor license
LEAMINGTON — The Leamington 7-Eleven store is among 61 applications from 7-Eleven stores across Ontario to recently apply for a liquor license. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) released a statement clarifying that the 7-Eleven applications are not looking to sell liquor for take-home, but are actually applying to have licensed bars inside their stores. To accomplish that, the stores must create a space inside the store for sale, service and consumption of alcohol with food inside the store. 7-Eleven has been serving takeout-style food for several years, ranging from hotdogs to chicken. Last Friday, AGCO announced that they will allow the public to submit objections to the applications up until March 11. To do so, you need to go to www.iagco.agco.ca where you can search for the application and make your concerns known.
stuck them on random cars in the employee parking lot. “She’s always behind the scenes and tries to do things in secret,” said her daughter, Erica Cassidy. “Throughout this entire pandemic she has been a support system to not only myself, but everyone around here, even when she has been dealing with her own struggles.” Cassidy says her mom has always gone above and beyond for her unit, South ICU. She’s made care packages, letters and
scrub hats. She attempted to keep the Valentine fete secret, but a patient noticed someone out the window and brought it to Erica’s attention. “I looked out and saw my moms bright red coat as she placed a sign on my car window,” she said. “I was overwhelmed with emotions —as were a lot of people — and I was full of tears.” All of the decorating was done at her own expense, and she told her daughter that she bought
every foam heart that the store had, and wishes they’d had more. Cassidy says that she’s always been a person who does random acts of kindness, not only for front line workers, but for her students, co-workers and friends. “I am continuously blown away by her strength and warm-hearted soul,” she added. “I am very proud to call her my mom and hope others are inspired during this difficult time.”
