Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has captured the world’s attention, and has even been affecting local businesses in some unexpected ways.
The Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission (NTLCC) has made the decision to remove products of Russian origin from its shelves in response to the country’s hostile military actions in Europe
NTLCC is working with all NWT liquor stores to ensure that all Russian-made products are removed. Russian-made products will also no longer be available for purchase by NWT liquor license and liquor permit holders.
The Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission is responsible for the purchase, sale, classification, and distribution of liquor in the Northwest Territories.
Liquor is sold in seven liquor stores across the Northwest Territories under contract with NTLCC: Fort Simpson, Fort Smith, Hay River, Inuvik, Norman Wells, and Yellowknife.
