Liquor Licensing
If you are a bar owner or operator, a club manager, a restaurateur or the manager of a venue where alcohol will be sold or supplied, you need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that apply to liquor.
You must ensure that:
- you have the correct licenses
- your managers have current certificates
- you have a host responsibility policy in place to care for your patrons and staff.

Manager Requirements
A certified manager must be on duty at all times when liquor is being sold or supplied to the public. If the certified manager is ill, absent, dismissed or has resigned, a licensee can formally appoint a temporary or acting manager.
Temporary Authority
If you have purchased a licensed business, you must apply for temporary authority to operate the business until your own license has been approved.
Host Responsibilities
The District Licensing Agency (DLA) is serious about promoting safe drinking environments. All premises need to have a host responsibility policy and implementation plan. Applicants and licensees must demonstrate a commitment to these policies and their application to patrons and premises.
