N.B. City Hall looking at cost to city related to cannabis sales
North Battleford City Hall is concerned about the costs associated with cannabis sales if the city decides to allow for retailing, following the province’s announcement the city is entitled to two permits for retail outlets in the city.
Mayor Ryan Bater discussed the issue at council’s meeting on Monday night.
“There will obviously be new laws to enforce, not just related to the public consumption of recreational cannabis.”
The mayor said there are traffic laws as well as home production laws to enforce too, and as a result this will require additional resources for policing.
