Abandoned Liquor Product

Liquor Bulletin

September 19, 2024

This bulletin is to advise all registered liquor agencies and liquor manufacturers of amendments to Section 2.1 of the Liquor Agency Handbook (LAH). 

Effective immediately, liquor product will be considered abandoned in the central warehouse if an agency's registration lapses for greater than 90 days or if the agency has not responded to any communication with AGLC within that time period. Abandoned liquor products may be destroyed per section 114(2) of the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act.

Additional information regarding AGLC's commitment to a modern regulatory environment that supports consumer choice, innovation and economic growth can be found on AGLC's website at aglc.ca/modernization.

Please familiarize yourself with the amended policy and ensure all affected staff are notified of these changes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact AGLC's Liquor and Cannabis Division at liquorservices@aglc.ca.
