Minimum age

How did a two-site bylaw become nine stores?

CochraneNow reported that the draft would keep stores out of neighbourhoods and, on the map shown to council, leave only two spots downtown. Cannabis retail was proposed as a permitted use in the commercial, downtown and shopping-centre districts and a discretionary one in two mixed-use districts. The same paper later counted four approved stores, two of them after refused applications were appealed successfully. The register now lists nine, so the market outgrew the draft. Read the current Land Use Bylaw, not the 2018 coverage, before relying on a distance.

Where are the nine?

Downtown: Canna Cabana at 122 4 Avenue W and Inspired Cannabis Co. at 264 Park Street, whose licence number 817340 is among the newest. Bow Street Common holds Plantlife. The newer neighbourhoods have their own: Heartland Boulevard, Griffin Road East, Sunset Drive, River Heights Drive and Fireside Drive. More on province-wide rules: Alberta.
