Check 30

The Prince Edward Island Liquor Control Commission (PEILCC) is committed to keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors and, since January 2015, has used Check 30 to help promote and ensure the responsible sale of alcohol.

This program applies to both our corporate retail and liquor agency locations, which requires verifying identification for all customers who appear 30 years of age or under.
