WATCH: BC’s Liquor Policy Review

KELOWNA– BC’s Liquor Policy was the focus of a town hall style meeting in Kelowna Tuesday evening.

The well attended meeting was hosted by Parliamentary Secretary John Yap, who’s been meeting with people across the province as part of the policy review.

A number of pub, bar and restaurant owners were in attendance explaining to Yap how restrictions, red tape and a lack of communication are hurting business.

BC’s Liquor policy has been called outdated and it is a subject of interest for many British Columbians.

Yap says there have been almost 50-thousand hits on the Liquor Policy Review website.

Yap will prepare a report based on his consultations that will be submitted to the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice.  Submissions can be made through email, letters and social media until October 31.

Okanagan Estate Wineries have scheduled their own meeting with Yap next week to discuss their issues.
