Province Surveying People On Expanding Retail Sale Of Alcohol

The provincial government is going to survey Nova Scotians on the way alcohol is sold and consumed in the province.

That includes the types of stores where alcohol can be sold, locations where adults over 19 can drink alcohol as well as health and safety considerations for any potential changes.

A public opinion survey of about 1,500 Nova Scotians over 19 years old is starting this week.

The province says this will give it a random sample of public opinion.

The government says it will also look for input from health and safety organizations, retailers, municipal governments, industry and consumer groups, alcohol producers and others.
