N.B. city council not opposed to cannabis retail sales
North Battleford city council didn’t raise any objections last night to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) granting permits for future retail sales of cannabis in the municipality. when the issue came up at Monday’s meeting.
The issue came up at Monday’s regular council meeting.
“If the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority hears nothing from our municipality by Feb. 28, then they will proceed to allocate two retail permits to our city,” said Mayor Ryan Bater following the meeting.
“Nobody put forward a motion to prohibit retailing here, so I think the direction to administration is to proceed with the appropriate zoning and bylaw work for council’s consideration,” he added.
