BCLDB Update December 5, 2018

Members,

Please note the important update below concerning Cannabis wholesaling and retailing BCLDB Logoannounced this morning by the BC Government. I have already received some questions about how this will affect the new warehouse and the planned distribution changes. Blain Lawson, GM and CEO of the BCLDB has provided this Q and A that will answer all of your topline questions at this early stage. Blain states, “We want to assure you our commitment to customer service and working collaboratively with our liquor industry partners remains the same. It is business-as-usual for LDB’s liquor operations.”
