Introduction NSLC Overview Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) is a Crown Corporation of the Province of Nova Scotia established in Prior to July 2001, the NSLC was a provincial commission operating for over 70 years. The NSLC is responsible for the purchase, importation, distribution, and retail activity for all beverage alcohol in the Province of Nova Scotia as well as for administering the Nova Scotia Liquor Control Act. Administrative functions are conducted at the head office located in Halifax NS, as well as two additional regional offices throughout Nova Scotia. Halifax is also the location of the central warehouse that supplies all Corporation-operated retail liquor stores with approximately 3,000 products. These include wines, spirits, beer and ready-to-drink. The NSLC is a major retailer in the Province of Nova Scotia with 105 retail outlets, 1200 employees, and approximately half a billion in sales. It also distributes product to licensees, private wine stores and through Agency outlets. A licensee is a business/establishment licensed by the Nova Scotia Alcohol & Gaming Authority (AGA) for the sale of beverage alcohol by the glass to be consumed on the premises of the licensee. The AGA, not the NSLC, is also responsible for enforcing the Liquor Control Act and their regulations with licensees. Agency stores are Corporation-regulated private sector operations which sell beverage alcohol products in addition to offering non-liquor goods and services to residents of smaller communities. The NSLC s future success depends on its ability to provide shoppers with a retailing experience that meets and exceeds their rapidly evolving needs. The long-term earnings growth resulting from focusing on customer expectations will be achieved through on-going investments in all aspects of the business.
