I was hoping to do an LCBO Tag Day and I contacted the Regional Office in my area. They sent a document outlining the requirements and application process. In the documents it states that walkers/runners/cyclists for a particular charity are not able to apply for a Tag Day permit. They need a copy of the liability insurance for the charity. Can anybody shed some light on how they got permission to do the Tag Day for the ride?
Look under the General Discussion section & you'll find the answer to your question there. Apparently if your Tag Day is at an LCBO store that is in a mall, you need insurance - at the stand alone stores you don't. I have been doing LCBO tag days what seems like forever - I did the Weekend to End Breast Cancer before I joined The Ride - & have never had to supply insurance. BUT, my tag days have always been at stand alone stores. I'd give your LCBO contact a call & question what the insurance is for and if you can get a day at a stand alone store. Remember if you don't ask, you won't get
Tag days can be full of read tape. Start at the stand alone stores with the manager and go from. The manager can guide you through the process a lot easier.
Look into Walmart or grocery stores as well. You will have a much happier time trying to get in there
The LCBO requires you to have insurance depending on what district you are in. I live in Kitchener so I sent in a request to get permission to stand out front of some our local stores and ask for donations (aka. "tag day" ) and I was told that I would have to have liability insurance for each person participating in the "tag day" . It turns out each LCBO district has its own rules, the Toronoto area stores do not require insurance, so I applied to do a tag day in Oakville instead.
When you go through the application process with the LCBO they will let you know what is needed.
