Doors Open and Heritage Festival 2017 2

Prohibition and Rum Running the United States years later. These violent episodes shocked the Canadian public and helped bring an end to prohibition in Alberta in 1924, and were in part the reason for building the Blairmore courthouse in 1923. New legislation brought in government- controlled liquor stores which persisted for decades until the modern era of privately-owned stores arrived. Alberta is presently the only province with fully privatized liquor sales. The last vestige of prohibition was a 1918 law against transporting alcohol from BC into Alberta, which was only repealed in 2012! Romantic but violent, rum running is an important part of Crowsnest Pass heritage. A visit to our newly-opened Alberta Provincial Police Barracks interpretive centre in Coleman explains it all.
