This is an exciting time to join the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch as we continue to work with stakeholders to develop and implement a progressive and balanced regulatory environment for liquor and legal non-medical cannabis.

With staff in Victoria, Surrey, Vancouver and regional offices across the province, the Branch works to protect public safety and minimize the health and social harms of alcohol and non-medical cannabis. The Branch issues licences in B.C. for making and selling liquor and for selling and marketing non-medical cannabis. It currently regulates 10,000+ licensees, including pubs, bars, lounges, stadiums, nightclubs and restaurants, private liquor stores, breweries, distilleries, wineries, UBrews/UVins, and private cannabis retail stores. In addition, the Branch regulates almost 30,000 Special Event Permit events each year, for events like concerts and weddings and more.

The Branch is comprised of four divisions: Program and Strategic Services Division (Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Policy and Legislation, and Business Transformation), Licensing Division (Licensing and Local Government Liaison,) Compliance and Enforcement Division (both regional and HQ) and Management Services (Finance, Administration, Human Resources, and Facilities).

As part of the Licensing Division, the Licencing Assistant is an integral member of the Client Support Team and will process licence applications or status change requests for existing licences, and respond to inquiries from government staff, licensing applicants, and other stakeholders over the phone in a call centre environment.
