Please contact the Clerk’s Department at clerks@sarnia.ca or ext. 3320 for more information about municipally significant events.
Additional forms required for a liquor licence are available on the AGCO’s website. Special Occasion Permits (Short term liquor sales) are available at the LCBO, or by contacting AGCO.
