A recent amendment to the Liquor Regulations will allow Northwest Territories’ (NWT) liquor stores to sell and provide home delivery of liquor to customers including those who are in isolation due to COVID-19.

All NWT liquor stores are now able to sell beer, wine and spirits for home delivery to customers residing in the community where the liquor store is located.

To order, a form must be submitted along with valid ID to the store in your community.  For more information, visit www.ntlcc.ca/en/liquor.
