Alcoholic Events

Pub Crawls, Bar Nights, & Alcohol

So you want to host an event that involves alcohol…

The one universal requirement for all groups holding any event that has anything to do with alcohol is that they must send at least two executives (who will be attending the event) to an Alcohol Awareness Seminar.

Alcohol Awareness Seminar :: Dates, Times & Places

The locations for the 2012-2013 Alcohol Awareness Seminars are still being finalized and will be updated as we have that information. The Seminars run from 5:00pm to 8:00pm (approximately) and cover risk management, liquor policy and permits at the University of Alberta, and alcoholic event planning (as well as SIPS, provided by University of Alberta Protective Services).

Alcohol Awareness Seminar :: How to Register

We recommend you send as many executives as possible to this seminar if you plan on hosting more than one alcoholic event this year.

To register for a seminar, email us at clubs@su.ualberta.ca with your group name and the names, email addresses and student ID numbers of the executives attending.

Important Things to Note:

• This training lasts for two years.
• This training also includes SIPS training.
• You will learn things at the seminar that will be important for your event planning process. Therefore, you should take the seminar as far in advance of your event as possible…
• … but we also recognize that sometimes that’s not possible, so we encourage you to start by looking at our Event Risk Management page. (This page is much easier to use after you’ve done the Alcohol Awareness seminar, so let us emphasize once again that it is important to do this early on.)

SIPS

Just need to provide your group with some SIPS training for service or security purposes? As long as you have two executives who already have AA, other group members can take only the SIPS course.

University of Alberta Protective Services runs SIPS classes throughout the year. If your group has an event coming up right away and a large enough audience, they can also organize individual SIPS offerings for your members. To get more information about this year's SIPS schedule and classes, visit the UAPS SIPS Website.
