St. Catharines nightclub has liquor licence suspended after April shooting

Two months after a shooting a St. Catharines nightclub has had its liquor licence suspended.

The temporary suspension order against Club 88 was issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. The move is also a step toward permanently revoking the establishment’s licence.

A shooting inside the club on St. Paul Street on April 27 injured a 16-year old male.

In a news release the Commission stated that “despite repeated attempts to confirm the identities of those involved in the club’s ownership and operations, investigators encountered a prolonged pattern of inconsistent and contradictory information regarding the ownership, shareholders, officers and directors of the club.”

The business operates under Motif Inc., and is known as Club 88.
