Not all Kamloops businesses embracing liquor law changes
KAMLOOPS — It’s another step in the BC Liberal’s loosing of provincial liquor laws – today, an updated Liquor Control and Licensing Act took effect, that the government says will create new opportunities for businesses, and increase convenience or customers. One of the biggest changes is the opportunity for all types of businesses to apply for a liquor license, including bookstores, art galleries, salons and barber shops, but as CFJC Today found out, not everyone plans to embrace the opportunity.
There’s nothing quite like a cool, tasty beer hitting your lips…
But at the local barber shop? Today, new rules set out by the BC Liberal government took effect, which allows all types of businesses to apply for a liquor license, but just because they can, doesn’t mean every place that cuts hair will. Deanna DiCicco, who owns the Manhandler Barber Shop says there a couple of reasons she doesn’t plan to apply for a permanent license.
