Get ready for changes to Ontario’s liquor laws.

They come into effect June first. You will be allowed to leave the beer tent at festivals and wander around with alcoholic drinks. Hosts will be able to serve alcohol until 2 am; the tourism industry will be able to sell all-inclusive vacations to Ontario destinations; restaurant servers will now be allowed to carry drinks on public sidewalks to serve licensed patios; and business owners will also be able to give a complimentary drink to customers to celebrate special occasions.

Kate Carnegie tells how it will impact the Sound of Music festival in Burlington.
