• Olympic and Paralympic Liqour License meeting
  Date: July 15
  Time: 6:30pm
  Location: Raven B room (Delta Whistler Village Suites)
  In April 2008, the Olympic and Paralympic Liquor License was created after amendments to the new provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Act were passed. This new temporary license is intended to meet the specific needs of 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games related facilities and services.  It is expected that various organizations will set up temporary operations leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games. These organizations will likely require their premises to be licensed, which will not fit current liquor licensing regulations. Existing liquor license holders are also encouraged to comment directly to the LCLB.
