Liquor Licence Application – Sparwood Golf Club
On October 15, District Council reviewed an application submitted by Sparwood Golf Club to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) for a structural change to their liquor licence.

In compliance with LCRB’s community consultation requirements, a public hearing was scheduled.
