Description
April 4 Ottawa Management of Pick's Place, the downstairs tavern at the Lord Elgin Hotel, 100 Elgin Boulevard, which had attracted a largely gay male clientele since at least the Second World War, decided to close the tavern at 3 p.m. every day; the space was to be reserved for receptions in the evening. This move was seen as a conscious decision to attempt to rid the premises of gays.
