The Town of Tecumseh is seeking feedback on Storefront Cannabis locations following new funding information supplied by the province.
Tecumseh will receive a first payment from the Ontario Cannabis Legalization Implementation Fund of $11,635 in January 2019 regardless of whether we opt-in or out of having a Cannabis Storefront in Town. If we opt-out by January 22, 2019, the second payment will be capped at $5,000. If we opt-in, the second payment will be based on household numbers and not capped at $5,000.
The information collected in this survey will be shared with Town Council as part of a report on Cannabis at the December 11, 2018 meeting of Council—the first of the new term of this Council.
On October 17, 2018 Cannabis was legalized in Canada by the Federal Government.
As of October 17, 2018 consumers 19 years of age or older became legally able to purchase recreational cannabis but through an online retail platform only, one operated by the Ontario Cannabis store.
