Prince George, B.C. – What changes, if any, would you like to see made to the liquor laws in the province of British Columbia? The government wants to know.

 

B.C. residents are being invited to offer their ideas on how to make balanced, common-sense changes to the liquor laws through a new website.

 

Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Reform John Yap launched the new Liquor Policy Review website – www.gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview – on the weekend. Yap is inviting British Columbians to get involved with the site – through blog discussions, Twitter chats and feedback forms – to better understand B.C.’s liquor system and to offer input on ways to improve it. The goal of the review is to come up with changes to the laws on the use and sale of beer, wine and spirits that improve customer convenience while ensuring public health and safety.

 

Along with logging public input and generating discussion, the website features written submissions provided by stakeholders and an archival look at B.C.’s liquor history, as well as answers to commonly held questions around the production, sale and consumption of beer, wine and spirits.
