Match the selected Vancouver premises to that source rather than assuming that one chain or store type covers the entire market. [\[1\]](https://justice.gov.bc.ca/lcrb/map) Open the [Vancouver catalogue](/weed/canada/british-columbia/vancouver) to compare addresses. Use the map or nearest-venues option for the journey, then check the current information for the premises you selected. ### Before setting off Confirm the shop’s exact address, current hours, accepted age-identification documents and whether the desired service is available at that location. If the official entry and listing differ, ask the store before travelling. - Match the exact address, not only the business name. - Check the opening hours for the day of the visit. - Contact the venue if an access condition or the listed service is unclear. ### Does the same name mean the same licensed branch? Compare the street address and the current official entry. A name shared by several branches does not identify the premises you intend to visit. ### If the information does not match Save the official source and the venue’s reply. Use the listing’s correction option for an incorrect address or hours. Read the local purchase and consumption dimensions separately; this visit guide helps you choose and verify a next step, while the linked rules explain its conditions. ### Sources - [British Columbia Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch — official retail map](https://justice.gov.bc.ca/lcrb/map)
