The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has released a list of all locations that have been issued liquor retail licences.
There are more than 175 locations in Ottawa.
The provincial agency said most of the licences had been issued to locations that “already hold a lottery retailer, liquor sales or grocery store licence” from the AGCO.”
As of Aug. 26, the AGCO has approved 4,075 convenience store licences and 159 grocery store licences across the province.
For more information on the new availability of beer, wine, cider and ready to drink cocktails, and a searchable map of stores that have joined the program, go to the AGCO webpage here.
