Liquor Control & Licencing

Liquor Control & Licencing

The City of Penticton reviews all liquor licence requests, including patio expansions and extensions to hours of operation.

Applications must first be submitted to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, which in turn send a summary to the City of Penticton. The applicant must then submit a City of Penticton Liquor Licence Application Package to Development Services.

The application is reviewed by the Liquor License Technical Review Committee prior to staff preparing a recommendation for Council's consideration. Public input is sought and the application is brought forward for consideration during a regular Council meeting. Once Council passes a resolution it is forwarded to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch where provincial staff make the final decision.
