History of Liquor Regulation

1971

MLCC hires the first women to work in liquor stores.

Liquor can be consumed in an expanded range of venues. New types of licences are introduced so alcohol can be consumed in live-performance theatres, sporting venues and excursion boats, and at community events like fairs, exhibitions and tournaments. There are also fewer restrictions on dining room and cocktail lounge licensing.

Juveniles can consume alcohol under parental or spousal supervision. In a club, restaurant, dining room or cabaret, liquor can be consumed by someone under 18 if it is bought for him/her by a parent or spouse and consumed with a meal in their presence.
