Trinity-Spadina councillor Mike Layton and Parkdale-High Park councilor Gord Perks are asking the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to revoke Muzik nightclub’s liquor license.

In a letter sent to members of the Toronto and East York Community Council on Thursday, Perks and Layton write that apart from a mass shooting in and around Muzik on Aug. 4, which killed two people and injured three others, police and liquor inspectors have dealt with numerous other problems at the venue.

The letter says that police have dealt with nine assaults, seven assaults causing bodily harm, two sexual assaults and one discharge of a firearm investigation since June 2012, not counting the mass shooting in August.

It adds that municipal licensing and standards officials have received four noise complaints about the nightclub in the last 18 months.

AGCO inspectors have laid $6,000 worth of fines against the venue, for concerns about drunkenness, drug use and disorderly behaviour between 2012 and 2015, Perks and Layton wrote in the letter.

“It is evident from current events and the ongoing impacts felt by nearby residents that the steps taken by the community, TPS and AGCO have not been a deterrent in changing the behaviour of the Licensee and management staff at the Premises,” the letter reads.

Perks and Layton want the City of Toronto’s solicitor to ask the AGCO to suspend or revoke Muzik’s liquor license, and participate in any hearings that deal with Muzik’s liquor license going forward.

In the past, representatives of Muzik nightclub have said they employ dozens of security guards, and had 73 on duty the night of the mass shooting. They have said the nightclub is fully cooperating with the police investigation into that incident.

Located on Saskatchewan Road on the Exhibition grounds, Muzik leases the property it is situated on from the City of Toronto.
