Wedding venues in Ontario are hoping their alcohol stocks don't run dry as a strike by the province's liquor store workers enters its second week.

A person walks past shelves of bottles of alcohol on display at an LCBO in Ottawa on March 19, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldWedding venues in Ontario are hoping their alcohol stocks don't run dry as a strike by the province's liquor store workers enters its second week.

Farmhill Weddings in Peterborough, Ont., stocked up before the strike but owner Jenn Austin-Driver said those supplies will dwindle as the venue hosts weddings every weekend, in addition to a weekly summer concert series. In the event that her alcohol stocks dry up, Austin-Driver said she’ll lean on friends in the industry for help.

"By the end of the month, I think we're going to need more alcohol,” she said, adding that Brussels, a rural community northwest of Kitchener, Ont., doesn't have as many options to purchase alcohol as larger urban communities do.
