Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Business, Politics
Sales at the LCBO were up over $4.7 billion for 2011-12, an increase of $218 million over the previous year. Officials say part of the reason for the higher numbers was people moving up to premium products. The Liquor Board also transferred $1.63 billion to the Ontario government, which was $80 million more than the year before. The board says it was the 17th straight year of record sales and 18th consecutive record dividend to the province to help pay for public services.
