The Alberta Liquor Store Association is Dedicated to Maintaining the Success of The Alberta Model

The Alberta Liquor Store Association (ALSA) was formed in 1994 following the privatization of Alberta's liquor industry. Since 1994, ALSA has grown to represent retail liquor stores from every community across Alberta.
