History of Thornbury LCBO

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is a Crown organization that retails and distributes alcoholic drinks across Ontario, Canada. The minister of finance is responsible to the Legislative Assembly. It was founded in 1927 by Premier George Howard Ferguson’s government to sell liquor, wine, and beer. In 1916, as part of Canada’s prohibition, such sales were openly prohibited. The establishment of the LCBO signalled a loosening of the province’s temperance laws. The LCBO had 651 liquor outlets as of September 2017.

For nearly a century after its founding, the LCBO had a “quasi-monopoly” on the sale of alcoholic beverages in Ontario: for the most part, LCBO stores were the only retail outlets licensed to sell alcohol in Ontario, with the notable exceptions of beer (The Beer Store had a quasi-monopoly on retailing beer for most of this period) and a few wine shops, which had once been rogue. Many of these independent establishments were on-site at vineyards, breweries, or distilleries, and Wine Shop and Wine Rack locations were frequently found within grocery stores. The LCBO’s quasi-monopoly status made it the world’s largest purchasers of alcoholic beverages because Ontario is Canada’s most populous province, with over 13 million people, or about 40% of the country’s population.

Thornbury

Thornbury located west of Blue Mountain Resort along Georgian Bay and is the main population centre of the area.The are small neighbouring communities Banks, Camperdown, Castle Glen Estates, Christie Beach, Clarksburg, Craigleith, Duncan, Gibraltar, Swiss Meadows, Heathcote, Kolapore, Little Germany, Lora Bay, Loree, Ravenna, Red Wing, Slabtown, and Victoria Corners are also part of the town’s territory.

Thornbury was founded in 1831 and separated from Collingwood Township in 1887 to form its own government. This municipality existed until 2001, when it united with Collingwood Township to become The Blue Mountains. Through its harbour on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, the town served as a shipping and processing hub for local agricultural commodities, particularly apples. The harbour also housed a small fishing fleet, and the post office was established in 1854. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 increased trade and made the town a desirable summer retreat for Toronto’s rich. The town suburbs are characterised by big late nineteenth-century houses on tree-lined streets. The L.E. Shore Memorial Library, erected in 1995 and named after the founding partner of the architectural firm Shore Tilbe Irwin + Partners who designed it, is located in Thornbury. In recent years, Thornbury has grown in popularity as a winter and summer holiday destination for Toronto residents. On the main street of the town, there is also an annual Canada Day event.
