So what is a distribution license you ask?
Basically it boils down to selling liquor to licensed entities or person. You are not allowed to sell liquor to the public like a liquor store.
Most people call this license a "wholesale" license. But the wholesale license has fallen out of the Provincial act and is now regulated under the National liquor act.
Sale of Liquor.
Your registration enables you to sell to LICENSED businesses who will resell the product.
You may not sell to the public for own consumption or to any unlicensed person or entity.

09h00 and 18h00.

Manufacturing, loading and
