In a precedent-setting move, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has revoked the liquor licence of the Docks, a waterfront nightclub and entertainment complex, over noise complaints.

This is the first time the commission has revoked a liquor licence based solely on the issue of noise - a decision that could serve as a warning to other nightclub owners.

The Docks, which can hold 10,000 partygoers, has long been the subject of complaints and frustration from Toronto Island residents, who have waged a 10-year battle to get the facility to turn down the music.

Now it appears the islanders have won - although their victory may be short-lived because the Docks plans to appeal the decision. "We're not breaking out the champagne yet," said island resident Vivian Pitcher.
