Fees
for liquor licences will change — some will increase, some will
decrease and some will remain the same. The increases apply primarily
to licensees who want to make a change to their business, such as
a relocation, structural change, or temporary extension of the licensed
area. Most licence application and renewal fees will stay the same.
