The B.C. government is permanently extending hours for authorized liquor retailers who were allowed to open early for the convenience and safety and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Liquor stores, both government-run and private, are permitted to open as early as 7am and close as late as 11 pm. This permanent change applies to in-store shopping only.
