The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) is pleased with the announcement that a tentative agreement has been reached. As of Monday, October 27, the LDB is resuming wholesale operations following the conclusion of strike action. 

The LDB looks forward to welcoming back employees and resuming operations in the distribution centres, Wholesale Customer Centres (Vancouver and Victoria), vendor and supply chain-related services. BCLIQUOR (BCL) retail locations will also reopen to support hospitality customers. 

LDB Wholesale Operations has developed restart plans and will work closely with our carriers and industry partners to allocate additional resources for an expedited resumption of operations but the timing for a return to normal service levels will depend on the volume of orders received as operations resume. We appreciate your continued patience and flexibility as we work to restore services as quickly as possible. 

Communications will be shared shortly and will include details on the availability of ordering and other services resuming as part of the restart. 

We will continue to provide regular progress updates and important notices will be posted here on the LDB Wholesale Operations website at wholesale.bcldb.com. 

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
