The rules got changed here in B.C. Children are usually welcomed now. Its up to the Pubs if they will allow them to. Most pubs here do but the ones open later will only allow children till 9p.m..
It was changed to please the tourist industry. Alot of visitors from Europe would consistently complain about not being able to go to places because kids were not permitted. Being tourism is the biggest industry here they obviously were going to change it.
In the same sweep the made it legal for grocery stores to sell wine aswell. It was a few years ago the changes were made but I have yet to find a store to sell it yet.
