The Shores of Erie International Wine Festival is being investigated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in relation with the death of Emily Bernauer, the 18-year-old who had been working for a vendor at the festival last year.
The province’s liquor regulator launched the investigation last year after Bernauer was killed on Sept. 6, 2014 in a single-car rollover.
The car Bernauer was driving veered the road, hit a mailbox and rolled over on Concession 2 North, in Amherstburg, a town located about 30 kilometres south of Windsor, Ont.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario investigation could affect the future operation of the festival.
A spokesperson told CBC News, depending on the outcome of the investigation, the wine festival could be refused future liquor permits or its permits could have conditions attached.
