In videos of the event posted online, huge crowds could be seen gathering, with police also on scene. 

"People were observed consuming liquor inside the licensed premises, on the licensed patio, and in the surrounding parking lot," AGCO stated. "People were not socially distanced and most, including staff and children, were not wearing masks."

The suspension, which took effect immediately, is being followed by a Notice of Proposal to revoke the restaurant's liquor licence.
