Liquor Boards in Canada: Alberta
Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC)
The Alberta government privatized liquor retailing in September 1993. The private sector retails, warehouses and distributes liquor in Alberta. The Government of Alberta, through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC), continues to regulate the industry, issue liquor licences, and collect revenues from the sale of liquor. Almost 80 per cent of Albertans are satisfied with the conduct of Alberta's liquor business.
There are more than 1000 retail liquor outlets in the province. Manufacturers ship their products to privately operated warehouses approved by the AGLC. Liquor licensees order their stock directly from these warehouses.
Alberta's population exceeds 3,000,000.
