Several La Ronge businesses will be protesting the proposed beer bottle ban in the community at a town council meeting this evening.

The ban is slated to take effect on September 1st.

The La Ronge Chamber of Commerce will have a representative speak on behalf of a number of businesses that oppose the ban on the sale of beer in glass bottles.

Predicting several ramifications — mainly lost business — the spokesperson is expected to present research on the issue to help sway the town council to modify the voluntary ban.

The open meeting will be held at 7:00 pm at the La Ronge town council chambers.
