The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) is the governmental body responsible for distributing alcohol and cannabis products in the province of British Columbia, Canada. The BCLDB operates under the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and was established in 1921 as the Liquor Control Board. The BCLDB head office is located in Burnaby, with distribution centres in Delta, Kamloops, and Richmond.
The BCLDB is the only organization allowed to purchase, import, and distribute alcoholic beverages in British Columbia. The organization employs more than 4,200 people, and operate over 230 liquor and cannabis stores (as of December 2024) under the BC Liquor Stores and BC Cannabis Stores names, found all across the province, making the BCLDB one of the top employers in the entire province. The other governmental body which is responsible for regulating and monitoring the industry is the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), with a similar mandate. The BCLDB contributes ~1 billion Canadian dollars to the British Columbian provincial government through sales annually.
