Is it true that individuals can sell alcohol at any age provided they have a certification?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if they are supervised

  4. Only during specific hours

The correct answer is: No

The statement is not true. In Ontario, the legal age to sell alcohol is 18, regardless of whether an individual has certification. Certification, such as obtaining SmartServe, provides essential training on safe alcohol service and responsible selling practices, but it does not override the legal age requirement for selling alcohol. The law ensures that individuals are of a mature age to handle the responsibilities and potential consequences associated with alcohol sales. Therefore, even with certification, individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to sell alcohol.
