Regulating Ontario's Prohibition-Era Standard Hotels: How the Needs and Demands of Ontario's Localities Impacted the Board of License Commissioners and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario's Decision-Making Process, 1916-1934 Item Info

This thesis examines the regulatory process associated with Standard Hotels operating throughout Ontario during the provincially enforced ban on the consumption of alcohol, 1916-1934. Due to its position as a publicly available and accessible institution, the Standard Hotel was a highly contested site. The thesis identifies three factors that influenced the State's granting of a Standard Hotel License and Light Beer Permit. These include: the distribution and frequency of establishments throughout the province; the ability for individuals to influence the License and Permit process; and the features and areas of a Standard Hotel that were of greatest concern to the authorities, the operators and members of the general public. The thesis argues that the regulation of Ontario's prohibition-era Standard Hotels was a highly contentious topic that was subject to the varying needs and demands of the community.
