/R E P E A T -- LCBO CLOSINGS ON LABOUR DAY/

TORONTO, Aug. 30 /CNW/ - All LCBO stores will be closed on Labour Day, Monday, September 6 and resume business on Tuesday, September 7.

Many LCBO stores in cottage and resort areas will stay open until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, September 3. All LCBO stores will observe their normal business hours on Saturday, September 4 and Sunday, September 5.

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, 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 LCBO Customer Service at 1-800-ONT-LCBO (668-5226) or online at www.lcbo.com/service. In Toronto, call 416 365-5900. The TTY number for the deaf and hard of hearing is 416 864-6898 or 1-800-361-3291.

The LCBO reminds customers to please drink responsibly and to never consume alcohol when driving or boating. Learn how to be a responsible host with tips, tools and alcohol-free "Mocktail" recipes at www.deflatetheelephant.com.
