The Compliance and Enforcement (C&E) team is part of the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), which oversees the regulation and licensing of liquor and cannabis establishments and events across British Columbia. With staff located throughout the province, the Branch issues licenses, educates establishments on regulatory requirements, and promotes safe, responsible service in alignment with public health and community interests.
Within this established team, the Regional Manager leads a structure that includes three Supervisors, supported by three Senior Inspectors and approximately 15-17 Inspectors. The team works collaboratively with Branch work units, including the Investigations unit, Licensing Division staff, and the Policy and Legislation unit to ensure consistent, equitable oversight of licensed businesses. Their work is grounded in a risk-based inspection approach, emphasizing voluntary compliance, education, and—when necessary—enforcement actions that uphold public safety and support safer experiences for patrons.
The Regional Manager plays a critical leadership role in directing inspection priorities, ensuring regulatory standards, and maintaining administrative fairness across a geographically diverse region that includes the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Sea to Sky Corridor. The position strategically deploys enforcement resources based on risk profiling, compliance history, and emerging trends, and works closely with Supervisors to ensure expectations are met and results are reported to senior leadership.
This role has significant impact on citizens and licensees by ensuring consistent delivery of the Inspections Program, fair determination of enforcement actions, and effective oversight of high-profile events of municipal, provincial, and national significance. The Regional Manager also builds cooperative relationships with law enforcement, industry associations, licensees, and community partners, providing guidance on complex cases and facilitating investigative processes. Candidates will be inspired by the opportunity to contribute directly to public safety, support responsible business operations, and work.
