Look up a licenseHow cannabis is sold in West Kelowna
West Kelowna started at a ban on cannabis shops and ended at five.
| Jurisdiction | Position | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| West Kelowna | Five private shops | The Kelowna Daily Courier reported an expected ban in 2018. Council then set a limit of four, two in Westbank Centre and two near the business park, before advancing five proposals |
| Kelowna | Allowed, spaced | The 2018 policy reported by Castanet kept cannabis stores at least 500 metres apart |
| Westbank First Nation | Own government | A self-governing First Nation inside the West Kelowna map, not covered by city policy |
- Original cap
- Four, then five approved
- Industrial Road
- Two of the five listed
- Register entries
- 5, matching the approvals
Which shops are where?
Skye Cannabis Co. (1192) and Spiritleaf (1195) face each other on Industrial Road, the business-park side. Prime Cannabis is on Main Street, Flora Cannabis on Hoskins Road and Cheeba Cheebas on Byland Road. The Courier also reported that a dollar store elbowed out a planned government shop. Because Westbank First Nation land is interleaved with the city, a "West Kelowna" address can in principle fall on either side of that jurisdictional line, and the LCRB licence is the tiebreaker. The register count of five is one more than the four council first set. Rules for the province: B.C. hub.
