Brian Markle Raises Alarm on Alcohol Sales Expansion in Ontario

By / / Brian Markle is raising concerns about the growing availability of alcohol in Ontario, following recent changes that permit its sale in convenience stores. As a long-time advocate for addiction recovery, Markle is worried about the potential increase in alcohol consumption and related issues, particularly given the lower level of oversight at convenience stores compared to the regulated LCBO outlets. In response, he is organizing a luncheon discussion with community partners to explore the effects of these changes and develop strategies to mitigate potential harms. Markle’s commitment to supporting those affected by addiction is deeply rooted in his nearly two decades of service with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Over the years, he has been a pivotal figure in guiding individuals through their recovery and has recently expanded his focus to include harm reduction strategies. In addition to his advocacy work, Markle is spearheading the “100 Turkeys for 100 Families” initiative, a charitable drive that will provide Thanksgiving meals to local families in need. This effort further reflects his ongoing dedication to community service. Updates will follow as Markle continues to address these critical issues and support his community.
