Social Responsibility
BCLIQUOR is a responsible retailer of beverage alcohol, and we take our responsibility seriously – it's an integral part of providing a high level of customer service, education and customer experience. Ultimately, our aim is to promote the responsible use of beverage alcohol, to help reduce our impact on the environment and to give back to the communities we serve.
Summer Safety: Boat Sober, Stay Safe
This summer, BC Liquor Stores is teaming up with Preventable.ca to promote safe and responsible fun in the sun. As part of our social responsibility campaign, we're reminding everyone that alcohol and summer activities—like boating—don’t mix.
In British Columbia, alcohol is a factor in over 40% of boating-related fatalities. Being on the water increases the risk of impairment more quickly than on land, due to factors like sun exposure, wind, waves, and glare. Impaired boating isn’t just dangerous—it’s also illegal. Under the Criminal Code of Canada, operating a boat while under the influence is a criminal offence.
So as you head out to enjoy BC’s beautiful lakes and coastlines, remember: stay sober on the water. Let’s make this summer safe, fun, and unforgettable—for all the right reasons.

Check 30
SORRY WE CAN’T TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT. WE ASK FOR ID.
The responsible sale of alcohol is a role that BCLIQUOR takes seriously. Preventing sales to minors and to intoxicated people is a priority. Check 30 requires all retail store clerks to check for proof of ID from anyone who looks 30 and under.
