General Policies

In order to provide the safest environment possible for guests, staff and performers alike, the Leon’s Centre retains the right to ensure that various items do not enter the building. In this regard, items that can be a danger to individual guests, other patrons and/or performers and staff are forbidden from the Leon’s Centre.

Examples of such items include:

• Weapons
• Contraband alcohol and illegal substances
• Any possible projectiles
• Large / intrusive items

In addition, these policies also serve to protect your access to wine, beer, and spirits by ensuring compliance with all elements of our liquor license.

In order to avoid any appearance of profiling individuals (specifically targeting age, gender or race of persons), we enforce these policies strictly across the board. Therefore, all bags at events are subject to search, including purses, oversized handbags, gym bags, and backpacks. In addition, bags of larger sizes may even be refused entry to ensure aisles remain clear in case of emergency. At the request of event promoters or, if in the opinion of the management of the Leon’s Centre it is necessary, pat-down searches may also be conducted for the same reasons.

To provide the fastest possible entrance, please open your bags and be prepared for a visual scan of the contents. In some cases, you may even be asked to rearrange items for better visual identification. If you are uncomfortable with a person of the opposite gender viewing the contents of your bag, please feel free to ask for an appropriate individual. If a pat-down search is in effect, please make sure that any coats or jackets are also open.

We thank you for making the jobs of the Leon’s Centre event staff easier and for being considerate of your fellow event attendees.
