The Moderation Act of 1921 established the provincial government inffl
operations, as exclusive importer, shipper and seller of alcoholic beverages in Britii
Columbia. In June of that year, the first liquor stores opened for business, under II
Liquor Control Board.
The Liquor Control Board continued to be responsible for all liquor achyii
under Government control until 1975, when the Board as such was abolished and
government liquor operations reorganized. Two branches, currently under the
Ministry of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, were created to handle the separah

The General Manager's Report
A LOOK AT 60 YEARS
By Robert A. Wallace
The close of fiscal year ending March 31, 1981 marked the sixtieth year of
operation for the Liquor Distribution Branch and its predecessor, the Liquor Control
Board.
Over these sixty years, the history of the Branch's operations is a reflection of
the many changes that have taken place in the Province of British Columbia. There
have been significant shifts in public policy regarding liquor sales and consumption in
response to changing societal norms and attitudes over the years.
The overall scope of operations
has come a long way. In 1921, total sales
through government liquor outlets was
$6.4 million while for the year ending
March 31,1981, sales through liquor
stores was $694.0 million. The net
revenue transferred to the Province of
British Columbia in the first year of
operation was $400 thousand as
compared to $280 million for the year
under report. In 1921, there were 50
liquor stores, while in 1980/81,
government liquor stores and agency
stores numbered 264. There were less
than 100 products available in the first
year, compared to just under 2,000
listings offered by the Branch for the
year ending March 31,1981.
Since the early years, the
employees of the Branch have worked very hard to achieve the continuing and, at
times, conflicting objectives of providing a high level of customer service, while
meeting revenue targets; making beverage alcohols available yet acknowledging the
social responsibility of their use; and utilizing innovative and modern merchandising
methods within a highly regulated system.
The Liquor Distribution Branch today is a consumer oriented progressive
retail organization, responsive to its "shareholders", the general public of B.C.
In 1980/81, the Branch opened the largest retail liquor store in the Province
(the "flagship" Cambie store in Vancouver), continued to service customers during the
disruptions of a long labour dispute at domestic breweries, introduced a sophisticated
Financial Information & Control System, made a commitment to proceed with a
satellite Distribution Centre in the Interior, doubled the number of specialty products
offered, developed a modern laboratory and analysis facility, and continued the
aggressive upgrading program for stores throughout B.C., among many other new
and established programs.
I take this opportunity to recognize the contribution and hard work of all past
employees, with a special thank you to all the staff who helped achieve our objectives
for the period reported in this sixtieth Annual Report to the Minister.

 4. SALES:
Included in sales are non-alcoholic items amounting to $1,021,858 (1980 —
$872,710).
Sales made directly to Licensed Establishments by authorized Brewers' agents on
behalf of the Liquor Distribution Branch totaling $104,772,159 (1980 —
$95,315,359) are not included in the sales reported by the Branch. The Provincial
Malt Levy reported on the Income Statement represents the margin on these sales.
5. COMMITMENTS:
Employees of the Branch contribute to the Public Service Superannuation Fund 6%
of their salaries for basic pension purposes, plus Yi% of salaries for cost-of-living
indexed increases in pension benefits. The contributions shown in the Schedule
include in addition to matching employee contributions, supplementary assessments
paid by the Branch to fund any deficiency in pensions for employees who retired
during the year. This supplementary assessment was $1,681,585 in 1981
($1,958,813 — 1980).
An actuarial evaluation of the Public Service Superannuation Fund was made at
March 31,1977. Details of the unfunded liability are described in the Public
Accounts of British Columbia. The portion of the unfunded liability attributable to
the Liquor Distribution Branch was not determined by the actuary.
The Branch maintains inventory in its bonded warehouse for which Customs and
Excise tax has neither been paid nor recorded. As at March 31,1981 the future
liability for these taxes approximates $3,300,000.
In 1979, a new procedure to warehouse imported stocks by Suppliers' Agents was
implemented. Under this new concept, the Branch has a contractual obligation to
purchase all inventories held by the agent should he opt out of the program. The
obligation of the Branch should all agents choose to terminate their contracts, totals
approximately $32,000,000 as at March 31,1981.
Total commitments to March 31,1981 for lease of premises amount to $25,350,000.
Of this $4,200,000 becomes payable during the year ending March 31,1982.
6. COMPARATIVE FIGURES:
Certain of the 1980 figures provided for purposes of comparison have been restated
to conform with the classifications used in the current year. These changes have
had no effect on the net earnings.

 The year 1980/81 was of singular significance in the Finance Department. It
marked the introduction of a computerized General Ledger and a unique Stores Data
Collection System, which combined to form the Financial Information and Control
System (F.I.C.S.). In addition, a new and greatly expanded Budgeting and Financial
Analysis System was introduced, an integrated Accounts Payable System implemented
and an automated Customs Documentation System designed. The resulting major
changes in tasks and responsibilities necessitated reorganization of the Department
into a number of divisions.
CONTROLLER
The Management Sciences of
America computerized package was
chosen as the General Ledger vehicle.
The control and maintenance of that
system became the responsibility of the
newly created Financial Reporting
section. In order to integrate Accounts
Payable with that system, a
Disbursements Accounting section was
formed to process all invoices and control
payments. An extensive training program was undertaken so that existing staff could
make the transition from manual to computerized accounting. During this fiscal year,
the responsibility for product pricing was transferred from the Purchasing
Department to the Cost Accounting section of the Controller's Division.
RETAIL ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATION
The voluminous transaction-posting originating with over 200 Branch outlets
flowed into the Stores Data Collection System, a main responsibility of this Division.
The system includes monitoring the processing of entries into the financial accounts.
Data collected in this "front-end" system continued as the prime source of statistical
data reported to all levels of management. Various administrative functions were
assigned to this Division, including the Branch insurance program, store imprest bank
accounts, manuals and procedural instructions, claims and accounts receivable
procedures and maintenance of computer records for each of the products listed by the
Branch.
BUDGETS AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
This newly established Division successfully designed, developed and
implemented a formal operating, capital and man-year budget system. The
introduction of the "Authority for Expenditure" concept established the control and
evaluation of capital expenditures prior to acquisition. Various periodical budget
reports were published on a timely basis to advise senior management of the status of
sales, operating and capital expenditures and manpower consumption pertaining to
their area of responsibility, with variances analyzed and explanations provided. The
Division provided financial analysis and recommendations to senior management on a
request basis on all Branch activities having financial implications.

 Management Services
CORPORATE SYSTEMS
Fiscal year 1980/81 saw several significant changes within this Divisionffl
Management Services Department.
The acquisition of new computer hardware to support the growing sysrem
function within the Branch necessitated the construction of and move to a new dat
centre at the Head Office complex. Among other equipment, four computer svsmfl
continued to operate 24 hours a day by a team of data processing staff.
In October, 1980, a new computer-based ordering system came on-lineJMl
licensees in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, providing improved service le'
for commercial accounts.
The fully automated Financial Information and Control System (F.I.C.SjmBu
implemented to handle the 20,000 data transactions daily from the store system"
The 1981/82 fiscal year will see further innovation in the Corporate Syster
area; with a planned organizational chart to include regularization of current staff; I
establishment of an on-site "Problem Centre" staffed by British Columbia Systems
Corporation personnel; and the visible development of a production schedule for
Senior Management use.
SUPPORT SERVICES
A word processing centre was established as a support service to all
Departments within the Branch, utilizing several systems.
22
 INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The Industrial Engineering Division continued to provide service to
management in such areas as construction, space planning, materials handling,
productivity systems and cost analysis. During this period, the Division helped
implement an On-Line Order Entry System for Licensees, completed a major
Cafeteria renovation project, completed facilities for a Satellite Distribution Centre at
Lake City (Burnaby), and completed a variety of other Branch projects.
MARKETING RESEARCH AND
CORPORATE PLANNING
In response to very diverse
functional areas, during the course of the
fiscal year the Division completed several
market analyses with sales forecasts in
connection with store location, relocation,
conversion and sizing decisions. In
fulfilling its mandate as a marketing
research entity, the Division continued to
provide sales and other information to
in-house personnel as well as to external
parties. A direct result was the
publication of the first issue of the
Quarterly Market Review midway
through the year. Compiled from the
large data base and showing statistical
trends within product groups, the
publicly distributed report is unique in
Canada among provincial liquor
authorities. Another on-going role was
the monitoring and evaluation of sales
and specific market changes, such as the impact of the new Cambie specialty store.
As a corporate planning function, the Division was responsible for the further
development, implementation, integration, and evaluation of the Branch Business
Plan. Finally, as a general research department, several policy and position papers
were prepared at the request of senior management.

Property Planning and Developmeni
A planned program to upgrade the overall store system was carried out
during the year by the Property Planning and Development Division of the
Management Services Department. The section carried out project coordination^
including site selection, lease negotiation, interior store design, materials handlirSI
fixtures design, space planning, store safety and security, project cost control,
advertising, tendering, and local community liaison. The new store designs
incorporated many innovative techniques into the Branch's retail outlets for imnWI
customer services such as energy conservation features, climatized unloading facilitf
heated entry vestibules, revamped
checkouts, and individual store decors; I
often incorporating the history or ■
industry of the local communityJB
Among the elements of the
program were store fixtures designed 3
this Division and custom-made for the 1
Branch, for example the continuo^Ml
beer racks. The new internal sign
program for customer information wa
built around a two-colour theme fo» I
policies and products. The store extern
sign program was virtually completed )
by year-end.
Whenever feasible, the life of i
existing stores in good locations was   I
extended by making them more   I
functional, with increased capacity for products. Rejuvenation of older facilities was
accomplished by new heating and air-conditioning systems, improved staff facilities
end aisle displays, wire wine islands, meeting rooms, better parking and truck acces I
During 1980/81, major renovations were done on 6 stores, including 3 conversic^SI
self-serve. New premises were completed in 12 locations, with 4 of these additions
the overall store system.
In mid year, the Branch opened the largest self-serve store in B.C. (and
the largest in Canada), a unique 22,000 square foot specialty outlet at 39th
and Cambie, on Vancouver's south slope. Featuring many innovative marketing ani
merchandising techniques and offering the full range of wines, spirits, and beer, thi
new concept Cambie store displays wines by country and region of origin and house
separate temperature and humidity controlled room for vintage and rare winesM^

 Personnel
REORGANIZATION
At the end of this fiscal year, further reorganization took place in PerscS
a part of the reorganization within the Ministry, dividing Personnel Services foam
Branch into two separate functional areas: Recruitment/Staff Development and
Labour Relations/Classifications/Administration.
RECRUITMENT/SELEC™
Area Managers and Store]
Managers as well as Department
supervisors became increasingly invol
in and more knowledgeable of the]
selection process. Regular positioi^H
during the year totalled 164, with MM
auxiliary/statutory term employees!
STAFF DEVELOPMENTS
TRAINING
Leadership was provided to
internal training sessions includingffit
P.O.S. (Point of Sale) and the F.I.cm
(Financial Information and Control
System) programs, and for a variety c
specialized technical/supervisory   j
programs in the Distribution CentS
addition, administrative services were
provided for the 3,635 employees
attending 63 courses on a wide vaMj
topics, including Stress, Labour RelSi
Grade 12 Equivalency, and Safetyfflj]
Cashier Retraining Program was
introduced during this year with i^ffl
policy and procedures developed in
conjunction with Store Operation^™
Revision continued on the "Handbook
New Employees", and "SupervisoiM^
Handbook", for completion in the^ffi
fiscal year. An audio visual orientals
program was produced for use in nev
employee training.
26
 LABOUR RELATIONS
Continued improvement in overall Labour Management Relations was noted
in this fiscal year. This improvement was due in large part to a general increase in
management skills, as well as greater familiarity by the bargaining unit with the
Collective Agreement signed in 1979. During the summer, the Branch was indirectly
involved in a labour dispute between the Brewery Workers and their employers —
Molson, Labatt and Carling OTCeefe Breweries. The Branch premises were picketed by
the Brewery Workers, and a Cease and Desist Order was obtained from the Labour
Relations Board. When the Brewery Workers' Union refused to comply with the order,
it was subsequently filed as a Court Order, and when this too was defied, the Branch
sought and was granted leave to sue for damages. This suit is presently still under
judicial review. During the year, Labour Relations training modules were presented to
the majority of liquor store managers and well received. The overall improvement in
labour/management relations was in part attributed to greater understanding by first
line managers of the Labour Relations process.
SAFETY
There were 30 Workers' Compensation Board inspections, of which 10
resulted in no written orders. One order was disputed, with the order subsequently
being withdrawn. All other orders were either complied with or, where major
structural change was involved, were included in renovation plans with a notice of
compliance issued. Seven Occupational Environment Branch orders were written
against the Liquor Distribution Branch in this fiscal year. Notices of compliance have
been filed on all orders.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
There were 264 referrals to Occupational Health in this fiscal year, a slight
increase over the previous report. The Screening Committee received 11 applications
of which 5 are still awaiting disposition. Of the others, 3 were accepted for transfers
which occurred, 2 were rejected and one was concluded as a result of medical inability
to return to any work.
27
 Store Operations
As the major line department of the Branch, the mission of Store Operand
continued to be to operate the retail store system. The effective and efficient
management of that system with courteous and informed staff was the goal of Stc
Operations within the overall Branch consumer service mandate.
GOVERNMENT LIQUOR STORES
The total number of government 1
quor stores at year-end stood at 211,
consisting of 141 self-serve and 70 conventional (counter) stores.

 POINT OF SALE
By the end of the fiscal year, a total of 72 liquor stores throughout the
Province were utilizing their new sophisticated electronic cash registers, as part of the
continuing Point of Sale Project.
In the Fall, 55 stores were trained and began operation with the new cash
register system. The stores receiving the new registers were mostly outside of the
Lower Mainland, including the Prince George, Victoria, Fort St. John, Kamloops,
Kelowna, Nelson, Powell River, Port Alberni, Campbell River, Vancouver North-Shore,
South Burnaby-New Westminster, Prince Rupert, Terrace, Williams Lake, White Rock,
Squamish, Haney and Lower Fraser Valley areas, as well as the 39th & Cambie outlet in
Vancouver.
To the credit of the staff in these stores, the new system was so successful that
15 more stores were implemented during February and March of 1981, in the Surrey-
Delta, Nanaimo, and Courtenay areas.
AGENCY STORES
The Agency store program continued to provide service in remote
communities. A total of nine agencies were appointed during the year, while two were
closed, bringing the total to 53.

During 1980/81, the Branch also signed Agency agreements which formalized
the authority for operation of five retail stores at B.C.'s commercial wineries (Andres
Wines in Port Moody, Calona Wines in Kelowna, Casabello Wines in Penticton, Golden
Valley Wines in Westbank, and Ste. Michelle Wines in Surrey) and approved a similar
on-site outlet at Park & Tilford Distillery in North Vancouver.
29
 Distribution
The Distribution Department physically distributed all products except 1
domestic beer which continued to be shipped directly by the breweries to Roverraal
liquor stores and licensees.
The fiscal year 1980/81 was one of significant growth in volume of alcohfflj
beverages distributed by the Branch. Vancouver Distribution Centre activity reache
7.9 million cases, up from 6.6 million cases in 1979/80, an increase of 20%.
During the domestic beer labour dispute in 1980, a separate and temporasy
distribution system was established to receive and distribute imported beer. This™
centre handled more than 1.4 million cases of import beer while in operation. Asa
result, in total, Distribution throughput exceeded 9.3 million cases in total.
The Department continued to expand two programs geared to improving
service to the Branch's stores. Store delivery frequencies were increased for both
Vancouver area stores and stores beyond the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
Telephone ordering service replaced mail ordering for all stores in the Province, wit!
the exception of those stores to be supplied from the new Kamloops Distribution
Centre. Improved delivery frequency and telephone ordering provides better custorr
service at the retail level, by giving stores improved access to Distribution Centra
inventory and quicker processing of store orders.
During the year, the Branch decided to proceed with the development of a
second distribution centre in Kamloops. The new Kamloops Distribution Centre is
being constructed and equipped at a cost of 3 million dollars, and is scheduled for
production start-up in the Fall of 1981. The centre will service 62 stores in the   j
Kamloops, Okanagan, and Southeastern regions of the Province, and will provide
telephone ordering service and opportunities for increased frequency of delivery. Th
Kamloops Distribution Centre will provide much needed additional distribution M
capacity for the Branch. The current Vancouver Distribution Centre is fast reaching
capacity, and it is expected that Kamloops will play a greater role in distribution in
future years.
The BCL line of products took on a new image in 1980 with the installanffl
a new bottle capper which automatically applies "pilfer proof" aluminum caps on ti|J
Branch's bottling line. BCL brand products continued to be popular with the
consumer. The source of supply of BCL Brandy, a longtime market favourite, was
switched from Portugal to France during the year.
Public carriers transferred most of the product from the Distribution Cemm
to the retail outlets, supplemented by a small fleet of 5 Branch trucks. The LDB trud
fleet added two large power tail-gate equipped vehicles in late 1980 and three small 11
year-old vehicles were retired. The new vehicles enabled the Department to provide
higher level of service to Vancouver area stores, and at the same time to reduce
distribution costs.
30
 Security
The In-House Security group completed its seventh year of operation, making
significant progress since its inception. The Incident Reporting System, developed and
introduced to capture all pertinent data surrounding Security related incidents
anywhere in the Province, continued to generate vital information for long-term
planning, development of new policies and procedures, analyzing of trends, budgeting
and the measuring of stock loss. Incidents reported on included robbery; break & enter
and theft; shoplifting and wilful damage. The experimental Store Security Officer
Program continued during the fiscal year, to improve customer/staff relations, to curb
the number of intoxicated persons served, and to reduce the number of minors
attempting to purchase alcoholic products. Staff training in the Security theme of
"Total Security Involvement by all Employees" continues to receive a high priority and
the results very encouraging. To sustain this objective, the Division operates with four
separate sections: Administrative, Uniformed Security Officers, Technical and
Investigation. The development and introduction of a comprehensive Manual on all
aspects of Security was undertaken, for the guidance and direction of all Branch
employees.
 Purchasing
The Purchasing Department continued to develop and enhance specifiiB
programs to augment the service aspect of the Department to the Branch and
consumers.
LISTINGS
The Purchasing and Marketing Policy Manual was modified from its oriBi
version, and re-published in June. The manual outlined Branch listing and delismEi
procedures, and specifies sales quota requirements for listed products. In additicBK
provided market access informatioi™
potential beverage alcohol suppliers ol
the Branch. Two sessions of the Lisui
Committee were held in the Spring ai
Fall, to review the Branch produc^B
portfolio, and to select new product!!
tendered for general listing. As a resu
a total of 85 new listings were added I
the selection of products, half of t^ffi
table wines.
PRODUCT EVALUATION
In order to review the quaffi
more than 1,400 new product
applications, and to evaluate existing products, a laboratory and organoleptic analys
facility was constructed on the mezzanine floor of the Head Office facility. A senso
evaluation panel, comprised of store and office employees, meet once per week to
examine the attributes of each product offered for listing by current and potential
suppliers. In addition to providing the Listing Committee with an initial produc^B
acceptability concensus, the process provides an educational medium to store
employees.
SPECIAL ORDERS
In addition to the product portfolio offered by the Branch, the Special l^j
Division is provided to meet unique requests from consumers. A regulation
amendment in September provided special order access to licensees. To respond to
new market demand, a booklet was developed outlining the procedure to obtain a
product which is not contained within the Branch portfolio.
NON-LIQUOR COMMODITIES
A major part of the Purchasing Department function continued to be to
provide the Branch with a procurement service for all operational and capital itgjffij

 Internal Audit
The duties of the Audit Division were expanded to include (a) store audits
(b) external audits, and (c) Head Office and warehouse audits. Store audits usuffl
consist of a review of the financial and related operational procedures implemeiitti
store managers. During the year, the Auditors completed 133 such store audit^B
External audits were performed on business operations related to the Branch, for
example, agency stores, import agents participating in the Agent Stocking Progran
and breweries. In addition to traditional financial audits, the Auditors performed
operational audits at the Head Office and distribution centres. High priority was p
on the review of the financial and
information systems of the Branch. 1
benefits expected to be realized will b
systems documentation and the
identification of areas requiring exteii
audit examinations in the future.
Efforts were concentrated or
upgrading the quality of audit staff,
rather than expanding the number ol
auditors. As a result, a competent
Operational Audit section was   j
established. The achievements of tlffl
operational auditors during the yean
encouraging and indicated that thesS)
Division's contribution in meeting w\
needs of management will improve in
1981/82. Staff continued to be    j
encouraged to enrol in courses leadffl
professional accounting designations •
well as other related courses. Two
members of the audit staff in the   |
Operational Audit section completed
requirements to become ChartereiMI
Accountants during the year. A stcffl
auditor also became a member of the
Certified General Accountants
Association.
34
 Communications
The Communications Division, responsible for public relations and
information, initiated and participated in a number of programs to evaluate attitudes
and earn understanding and acceptance of policies and procedures amongst customers,
staff, media, suppliers, licensees, special interest groups and government. Much of the
program's efforts during the year were directed at maintaining open communications
prior to, during and after the eight week labour dispute at B.C.'s breweries. An
average of two News Releases per month were issued in 1980/81 to announce and/or
explain new stores, new products, new prices, and other details of operations. Several
audio-visual presentations were
developed and produced, including the
Branch's orientation A-V for new
employee training. Special events were
planned and organized, such as a Preview
Opening of the new "super-store" at 39th
& Cambie in Vancouver, and the annual
meetings of two national liquor board
organizations. Large volumes of
consumer and trade correspondence
continued to be drafted, and telephone
complaints and inquiries handled directly.
Several information pamphlets and signs
were produced for in-store information
displays. A number of position papers and
briefing material were developed for
management on current issues. Visits to
liquor stores throughout the Province
were continued to establish good
employee communications, and regular
staff publications produced, including the
GrapeVine bi-monthly newspaper and
Weekly News, administrative newsletter. A
prototype consumer Product Catalogue
was developed and introduced internally,
and a Project Team established to
implement the publication early in the
next fiscal year. The Annual Report and
Finanaal Statements were prepared and
produced in accordance with legislation.
