- Roundtable on Violence: In and Around Licensed Premises-Exploring the Issues

Why we need to act now
“Violent acts in and outside bars and lounges can erode an entire community's sense of safety and security.” –Harvey Cenaiko, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security, November 22, 2005
“Even one violent incident is too many. Collectively, we can and we will address this issue.” –Gordon Graydon, Minister of Gaming, November 22, 2005
“Acts of violence are the product of historical, social, economic and political beliefs and values that are built into the structure of our society.”* Violence has personal, social and economic consequences, and its impact is deep and far-reaching. Violence affects individuals, families and communities. It places health, safety and even lives at risk. It imposes huge costs on the health care and justice systems, on employers, on community services and on taxpayers.
Violence affects everyone, and some might argue that it is a growing problem in society. But while all citizens, to some extent, are vulnerable, numerous studies have found that bars and clubs are particularly high-risk locations for violence and violent injury.
The Alberta Roundtable on Violence In and Around Licensed Premises was convened to address this issue. The roundtable was staged in two parts. Participants met in Edmonton from November 22–23, 2005, and reconvened in Calgary on March 31, 2006.
The discussions at the roundtable were exploratory in nature. Participants offered ideas and suggestions based on their own experiences and perceptions. They offered recommendations with the proviso that further research and consultation are needed to identify and validate best practices.
