The City does not make liquor licensing decisions; the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) does. However, the LCRB involve us in most applications where public input is required and in these cases, you'll require a City Official’s signature on the LCRB application form prior to submitting.
Prior to submitting your application to the LCRB, make sure you contact us about the following:
- Business licence requirements
- Zoning and building bylaws
- Health and fire regulations
- City application and fee
- Occupant load stamps
