The Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE) 3.0 results by province and territory.

The Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE) is an ongoing research project that provides rigorous assessments of the existence of evidence-based provincial, territorial, and federal alcohol policies in Canada to reduce harm from alcohol use.

Policy domains include pricing and taxation, physical availability, alcohol control system, impaired driving countermeasures, marketing and advertising controls, minimum legal age, health and safety messaging, liquor law enforcement, screening and treatment interventions, alcohol strategy, and monitoring and reporting.

CAPE has a track record of strengthening Canada’s response to alcohol-related harm. The project was initially developed and implemented in 2013 (), then updated, refined, and expanded in 2019 (CAPE 2.0). CAPE 3.0 launched in 2022 along with the national alcohol policy community of practice. Results for CAPE 3.0 were released in May 2023.

Promising policies to address alcohol harms in Quebec

October 4, 2023: This webinar explored alcohol policies in Quebec, particularly in relation to labelling, sponsorship and advertising in public spaces. Consuming alcohol in small, medium or large quantities or not at all is not just a matter of individual choice. The environment that surrounds us, which is influenced by laws, regulations and public policies in force, also influences our decisions and our desires, often without our knowledge. In order to better understand and identify possible solutions, the Public Health Association of Quebec (ASPQ) provided a summary of its series of five webinars that took place in spring 2023.

 

Canada's Guidance on Alcohol and Health: Knowledge mobilization activities

Presented data on prevalence of alcohol consumption, deaths, emergency department visits and hospitalizations in Ontario; expansion of alcohol availability and impacts; and shared the experience of one local health unit who partnered with their municipality and utilized sociodemographic and health data to prevent the expansion of alcohol retail availability in a neighbourhood experiencing low socio-economic factors.

  • Presentation slide deck (French translation available upon request) 

 

Social determinants of substance use and harm: existing trends and policy options

February 7, 2024: This webinar explored the social determinants of substance use and harm. Presenters discussed research describing existing trends and examining the association between social factors and substance use and harm, including by sex/gender, socioeconomic position and income inequality; and highlighted the evidence of existing alcohol control policies for reducing inequities in alcohol use.

 

Alcohol in parks roundtable

April 30, 2024: This roundtable provided an opportunity to revisit the Alcohol in Parks policy report and reflect on changes in the policy landscape since released in 2021; hear from CAPE CoP members about their experience of planning, assessment, implementation and/or evaluation of alcohol in parks initiatives; explore how the topic is being discussed in various jurisdictions, organizations and settings; who is advocating for and against various policies; what processes and powers are in place in various jurisdictions (e.g. bylaws) and connect with others working on this topic and share resources (e.g. data sources, surveys, evaluation reports).

This session was not recorded.

 

FASD prevention and public health policy

May 8, 2024: This webinar explored a highly stigmatized topic in the alcohol field; the prevention of alcohol use in pregnancy, and how action on alcohol, child welfare and related public health policy matters in FASD prevention. During the session, presenters provided the latest data on the extent of alcohol and other substance use in pregnancy, and the impact on child health from Canada’s national FASD diagnostic database; shared information on FASD prevention practice and policy work across Canada; considered how this work meets the four core principles of a public health approach to substance use; and discussed how supportive alcohol policies and related public health policy play a key role, at each level of FASD prevention.

 

Legal aspects of duty to warn, the example of FASD

May 29, 2024: All manufacturers and suppliers have a general common law duty of care to inform consumers of the risks inherent in using their products. Alcohol manufacturers and suppliers (which includes government liquor authorities) have not yet been held accountable for failing to inform Canadian consumers of the risks of alcohol consumption. This webinar explored the concepts of duty to warn, standard of disclosure, legal liability and the viability and real-world challenges of taking legal action, looking at the example of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD).

 

Managed alcohol programs 101

June 26, 2024: An introduction and overview of managed alcohol programs (MAPs), including what the research tells us and future research directions. Includes a presentation from the Eastside Illicit Drinkers Group for Education (EIDGE) about their peer-led MAP and their partnership with the Canadian Managed Alcohol Program Study (CMAPS) over the study’s decade-long history. 

 

FASD prevention and public policy roundtable

Current Activities

Last updated October 2024

Excise tax on alcohol products 
There has been recent interest in excise tax adjustment in Canada. Some CAPE CoP members have engaged in writing letters. These letters represent the views of the individuals who have sent them.

Alcohol labelling
There has been growing interest in alcohol labelling initiatives in Canada and elsewhere. In Canada, much of this interest has stemmed from the recent update to low risk drinking guidelines now known as the which calls for mandatory labelling of all alcoholic beverages. Some CAPE CoP members have engaged in writing letters in support of various initiatives (see below). These letters represent the views of the individuals who have sent them.

Canada: Motion M-61 National Warning Label Strategy for Alcoholic Products

The third iteration (CAPE 3.0), conducted in 2021-2022, once again assessed all Canadian provinces and territories as well as at the Federal level. Results were published in May 2023.
