October 2020 Survey: Temporary Policies for Liquor and Food Primaries

Created by: ABLE BC, BCRFA, and Restaurants Canada

Since the start of the pandemic, the provincial government has implemented a number of temporary policies to support our industry in this time of crisis.

Please complete our short survey about these temporary policies for liquor primaries and food primaries.

When government is back in session, this information will be used in our discussions with them to demonstrate the impact of these temporary policies. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact ABLE BC: info@ablebc.ca. Find our COVID-19 liquor industry updates here.
ABOUT THE POLICY

On March 21, 2020, the LCRB implemented Policy Directive 20-05: allowing the sale and delivery of packaged liquor for off-site consumption with the purchase of a meal. 

This directive has since been replaced by Policy Directive 20-19 and most recently 20-27, extending the temporary authority for the sale and delivery of packaged liquor for off-site consumption with the purchase of a meal for take-out or delivery to March 31, 2021.
