The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario announced today there’s an application for a new cannabis retail store in Collingwood now entering a 15-day public notice phase.
The application was submitted by Justine Cannabis for a store at 280 First Street.
The deadline to file an objection or a submission related to the application is June 24.
If an objection is filed, the applicant receives a copy of the objection and can work with the AGCO toward a resolution.
The AGCO may then review the applicant’s original submission at a hearing or may call a public meeting where the person filing an objection may participate.
You can find out more information about the AGCO cannabis retail store licence process here.
There are two other applications also in progress from retailers hoping to open a cannabis store in Collingwood.
Spiritleaf has an application into the AGCO for a store at 10 Balsam Street, Unit 3. Best Buds Forever has an application before the AGCO for a store at 191 Hurontario Street, suite 1.
Both the latter applications are listed as in progress, but are not currently in the 15-day public notice phase.
There is currently one licensed cannabis retail store in Collingwood called Sessions and it is located at 312 Hurontario St.
