The Yukon Liquor Corporation regulates the distribution, purchase and sale of alcoholic beverages in the Canadian territory of Yukon[1] and the distribution, purchase and sale of cannabis in Yukon.[2]
The Corporation came into existence in 1977 as a result of amendments to the Liquor Act.[3] It currently operates six liquor stores and a central facility in Whitehorse.[3]
Between November and December in 2017, the Corporation put warning labels related to the consequences of drinking alcohol on its alcohol products as part of a research experiment in researching how to reduce alcohol consumption.[4][5] According to the researchers, the experiment was successful in reducing alcohol sales.[5]
