Alcohol in Wilberforce Convenience Stores:

from County Closeup · host Elizabeth Oakley

It’s been more than a month since alcoholic drinks have been given the green light for sale in convenience stores in Ontario, thanks to a push from Premier Doug Ford to broaden consumer choices. The Wilberforce Service Centre is one of more than 41 hundred convenience stores in the province selling alcohol and owners Lindsay and Todd Watling are seeing the benefits first- hand. While some local residents are concerned with the impacts of easy access to alcohol or impaired driving, others think the move is a boost for convenience in rural communities.
