Effective immediately, Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) is not accepting new stock of Russian-made liquor products and will not sell any current stock to retailers.

Alberta’s government has directed AGLC to take these immediate steps as a sign of condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Alberta stands in solidarity with the citizens of Ukraine and we will support those fighting against tyranny any way we can,” said premier Jason Kenney.

These steps are in addition to the Alberta government’s $1-million contribution to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
