At its meeting on December 17, 2018, Council made a decision to provide a Notice to the Registrar (of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) that Owen Sound has chosen to "opt in" to the retail sale of recreational cannabis. The licensing of retail sales outlets will be done by the AGCO on behalf of the Province of Ontario.
Council is working to prepare a Municipal Cannabis Policy Statement.
The purpose would be to set out specific and locally sensitive considerations or uses to represent the expectations of the community in allowing cannabis retail stores. The statement would be used by municipal staff to provide input to the AGCO within the proposed 15-day review period.
Please read all of the information provided below to obtain additional background information and have the opportunity to provide feedback to Council through a short survey.
If you want to provide input in person and obtain additional information, please attend one of the public open houses at City Hall - 808 2nd Avenue East, Owen Sound:
Monday, February 25, 2019
