Update: Extension of temporary hours of sale and delivery
Dear ABLE BC Members and Industry Colleagues,
As you know, on April 3, 2020 the LCRB temporarily extended the hours of liquor service for Licensee Retail Stores, Wine Stores and Special Wine Stores, and Manufacturer Onsite Store endorsements to no earlier than 7:00 am and end no later than 11:00 pm.
The LCRB also authorized delivery services to purchase liquor on behalf of a customer from a liquor store or from any licensee authorized to sell liquor in unopened containers, and deliver and sell that liquor to a customer, provided the delivery does not take place between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am.
These temporary authorizations were set to expire on January 31, 2021. We are pleased to share they will now expire on March 31, 2021.
The change is made at the LCRB General Manager’s initiative; licensees do not need to submit an application to change their hours of sale.
Note: This change does not override any additional requirements or limitations placed on a business’s hours of liquor service by a local government or Indigenous Nation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact ABLE BC: info@ablebc.ca.
