Statement: Keeping alcohol prices consistent: Minister Nally
Keeping alcohol prices consistent: Minister Nally (June 22, 2026)
Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally issued the following statement on the pricing for alcohol sold in bars and restaurants in Alberta:
“Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) made a decision to change the minimum pricing for alcohol sold at bars and restaurants.
“We have since directed AGLC to reverse this decision, effective immediately, to provide businesses and Albertans with greater certainty and consistency.
“Alberta’s government is proud to support our hospitality and liquor industry as they create jobs, attract visitors and deliver memorable experiences for Albertans and tourists alike.
“I would encourage the City of Calgary to take the same approach by working with industry and local businesses to find solutions that support jobs, tourism and the Stampede music scene, including repealing its misguided noise bylaw.”
