We tried to organize one and ran into a brick wall at every turn. Then I called MLCC and asked them for some advice.

The thing is you are "supposed" to be running it as a break even event. So you obtain the liquor permit based on what you can estimate. You price out glasses at Wal-Mart and then end up buying them at Costco. Estimate bags of ice, then get ice from a buddy who owns a restaurant. Estimate 100 guests but end up selling 150 tickets. Things like that.

The permit you need in Alberta IIRC is called an "occasional permit."
