Mississauga nightclub deemed so dangerous it's forced to temporarily close
An adult entertainment venue in Mississauga has been ordered to temporarily close after a recent string of violence.
Her nightclub (also known as Entice Ultra Club) at 1325 Eglinton Avenue East had its business licence suspended by the City of Mississauga this week. It’s ordered to close from September 9 until September 22 at noon.

According to Mayor Bonnie Crombie, the suspension was ordered because of the risk to public safety.
Most recently, Peel police responded to a shooting in the nightclub’s parking lot where one man was critically injured and a stray bullet went through the window of a restaurant in the same plaza.

“Gun and gang violence has no place in our city and threatens the lives of not only those involved but the safety of innocent bystanders who may find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said in a statement.
Crombie said Peel police have responded to more than two dozen incidents in and near the nightclub that involve illegal guns, gangs, drugs, and “disorderly behaviour.”
“This behaviour has become so concerning that they recently issued a public safety alert urging people not to attend this establishment. I ask residents to continue to heed this advice and urge the owners to comply with this suspension.”
Mike Foley, director of enforcement with the City of Mississagua, said the club must cease operations and comply with conditions in order to keep its adult entertainment and eatery operating licence.
