Prohibition Then and Liquor Control in Ontario Today
Speakers: Mariana Valverde, FRSC, Director, U of T Centre of Criminology and Kathy Klas, a Director with the Alcohol and Gambling Commission of Ontario
How is it that Ontario has a system for liquor sales unique in the world? How has that system affected Torontonians since its introduction in 1927? What are the aims of this unique system in Ontario and what does it say about us? This discussion will be introduced by Dr. Mariana Valverde, author of The Age of Light, Soap and Water: Moral Reform in English Canada, 1885-1925 and Diseases of the Will: Alcohol and the Dilemmas of Freedom, and Kathy Klas, a Director with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
