Safe Night Out Act, 2023
  • Bill 114, also known as the Safe Night Out Act, 2023, is an amendment to the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It introduces mandatory training on sexual violence and harassment prevention for individuals involved in the sale or service of liquor, as well as those responsible for security or supervision at licensed premises. The training program will cover topics such as recognizing signs of sexual violence or harassment, understanding consent, and safely intervening in risky situations. License and permit holders will also be required to display a sign indicating completion of the training. The Act also mandates that licensees and permit holders have a sexual violence and harassment policy in place, outlining how incidents will be addressed and providing information on available support services. The Act further expands the definition of workplace violence to include workplace sexual violence and requires employers to provide approved training on workplace sexual harassment. The Act will come into force six months after receiving Royal Assent.
