Social Responsibility

The Yukon Liquor Corporation is responsible for the purchase, distribution, and sale of liquor products in the Yukon. We want to ensure that our customers are well-educated about how to enjoy our products safely.

Our broad-based social responsibility initiatives are designed to create awareness about responsible drinking practices. We partner with other organizations to develop and deliver a variety of campaigns in support of responsible consumption.
