Cannabis retail business application deadline Friday

Jul 6, 2018 | 6:36 AM

Friday is the last day to get business applications in for the first intake of cannabis retail store licenses.

The City of Grande Prairie has put a cap on how many marijuana shops can open in the first year at 15.

A “lottery style” draw will be held Monday, July 9th to decide which of the first 15 will be processed by administration.

If the store is cleared and a license is handed over, the owner will owe the city $2500 for the business license fee.
