Mississauga issues tickets to residents, restaurant that allegedly allowed dancing
Published June 24, 2021 at 4:57 pm
This past week, three tickets were issued to residents and business owners in Mississauga in relation to alleged violations of COVID-19-related restrictions.
Two tickets were issued to citizens for allegedly having illegal gatherings—one on Friday (June 18) for an illegal gathering at a private residence, and one on Saturday for an illegal gathering at a hotel room.
Additionally, an $880 ticket was issued to a restaurant owner, while a Part 3 ticket, which includes a summons, was issued to a separate restaurant owner.
Part 3 charges are more significant than regular tickets and come with a minimum fine of $10,000.
The restaurants were ticked for allegedly being overcapacity, and serving large groups of people seated together, not recording patron contact information, and not enforcing proper distancing requirements.
A city spokesperson also said that dancing was observed at a restaurant.
