LCBO will add staff at these locations during the Games to ensure shelves are well stocked and shoppers are served in a timely and responsible manner.

To help keep traffic moving and ensure on time deliveries, LCBO is introducing temporary changes to its daily product shipping schedules from its warehouses to stores in communities where the Games are being held. Shifting many deliveries to off peak hours will help with congestion on the roads and ensure retail customers and licensees continue to have access to products from local producers and more than 80 countries.
