The District of Invermere has received notice of an application to the B.C. Liquor and Cannabis Licensing, (BC – LCL) for a permanent change to the liquor licence currently held by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 71. 

The application proposal is a permanent amendment to the existing Liquor Primary Licence converting their currently approved onsite, outdoor Temporary Expanded Service Area (TESA) to a new, permanent Outdoor Patio Service Area at 525-13th Street.

The Terms of the licence for the new outdoor patio area will be the same as the existing Liquor Primary Licence Hours for the outdoor area will be within the current hours of operation for the Legion. The current licence has an 11:00 am to 12:00am service period. 

There is no change to the capacity of the existing licence being applied for, simply a request for a conversion of the TESA to a permanent service area under the existing Primary Liquor Licence.
