The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch in British Columbia has changed its name to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) to represent its new additional responsibility of licensing and monitoring the private retail sale of non-medical cannabis.
The branch will continue to regulate the B.C. liquor industry in addition to private non-medical cannabis retail sales.
This includes:
• Restaurants, bars and pubs serving liquor
• Liquor manufacturers
• Liquor retail stores
• Special events involving liquor
• Private cannabis retail stores
While the branch’s website address remains the same, its current email address (lclb.lclb@gov.bc.ca) will be changing soon — but any emails received after the change will be automatically forwarded to the new address.
