LCBO closings on Labour Day

TORONTO, Aug. 23, 2013 /CNW/ - All LCBO stores will be closed on Labour Day, Monday, September 2 and resume business on Tuesday, September 3. 

Many LCBO stores in cottage and resort areas will stay open until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30. All LCBO stores will observe their normal business hours on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1.

LCBO agency stores may be open on Labour Day, provided local municipalities do not object. Agency stores are locally-owned retail establishments authorized by the LCBO to sell beverage alcohol, along with other retail products, in communities that are too small to support LCBO stores. 

All LCBO offices, including LCBO Customer Service and the helloLCBO Contact Centre, will be closed on Labour Day. Customers should check for individual store hours with their local LCBO store or online at www.lcbo.com using the 'Store Search' feature. They can also contact the toll-free, bilingual helloLCBO Contact Centre at 1-800-ONT-LCBO (668-5226) or online at www.hellolcbo.com. In Toronto, call 416 365-5900. The TTY number for people who are deaf and hard of hearing is 416 864-6898 or 1-800-361-3291. 

The LCBO reminds everyone to please drink responsibly and to never consume alcohol when driving or boating. Responsible hosting information is available at www.deflatetheelephant.com. This website offers tips, solutions and a variety of refreshing, alcohol-free Mocktail recipes to ensure your celebrations with family and friends are memorable for the right reasons. 

Please bring a reusable bag when shopping at the LCBO and take your empty beverage alcohol containers (large and small glass bottles, PET plastic, Tetra Pak cartons, bag-in-box and cans) to The Beer Store for a full deposit refund.
