LCBO NOTES

From our Interim President & CEO

Dear Friends,

in driving our progress. Thank you to everyone who has generously donated or actively participated in this evolving journey. Just as the needs of our communities continue to change, the LCBO is committed to innovating to ensure our contributions to the province have a lasting impact on future generations. As LCBO’s Interim President & CEO, and a passionate champion of local and our organization’s impact, it’s a privilege to share what we’ve achieved together for the good of Ontario. I hope you check out our 2025-2026 Impact Report and find it as inspiring as I do!

“Every Action, for the Good of Ontario.” These powerful words sum up one of the LCBO’s core values. Giving back, driving impact, and supporting the province is why we do what we do. This work has always been a point of pride for me and continues to help define the LCBO as a purpose-led organization driving change across the industry. You can find out about the progress we continue to make in our 2025-2026 Impact Report, which is out now on our website. This report brings to life our ongoing commitments to community investments, meaningful industry and charity collaborations, and sustainability. You’ll see that we have continued partners that do important work in communities across Ontario, and help local businesses and diverse entrepreneurs thrive, while driving environmental impact to protect not only the province but the planet. The report also highlights our path forward, explaining the steps we’re taking to elevate our well-established Spirit of Sustainability (SoS) platform and the new targets we’ve set to hold ourselves to a higher standard. This is a collective effort, where our team members, industry partners, and especially you, our customers, all play a role to raise millions for critical institutions, support charity
