How it works

How cannabis is sold in Salmon Arm

Policy: City Policy No. 3.20
Core commercial area: No more than four stores
Schools: 500 m discouraged
Approval route: Council resolution, then the province

Where do the five stores actually trade?

The zoning bylaw already permits retail in commercial zones, but a store selling cannabis also needs a council resolution before the province decides, the city's policy page explains. That is why the map is short. Downtown Cannabis is on Lakeshore Drive NE and Salmon Arm Cannabis on Shuswap Street NW, the downtown core. The Greenery is on the Trans-Canada Highway NE, Green Canoe Cannabis on 50 Street NE and Cannabis Supply Co on 10 Avenue SW.

The Salmon Arm Observer reported that council backed two of the first three applications, so refusal has happened. Nothing in the policy sets a figure for stores outside the core, which means council judgement, not a formula, decides whether a sixth shop could open. The 500 metre school wording is "discouraged", a soft test, so a store closer than that is not automatically a breach, but expect council to ask why. Provincial age and tax rules sit on the B.C. hub.
