  • Opting out of Cannabis Retail Stores
    OPTING OUT OF CANNABIS RETAIL STORES As per Ontario Regulation 468/18, municipalities must notify the AGCO of their decision to opt out by having the municipal Clerk, Chief Administrative Officer or Mayor send the AGCO Registrar written notification that the municipality has passed a resolution prohibiting cannabis retail stores. This written notification must be sent by email to [email protected] and received by the AGCO no later than January 22, 2019. The notification must include: 1. The official name of the municipality, and; 2. The date the resolution was passed. Once received, the AGCO will acknowledge receipt by email. A municipality that decides to prohibit cannabis retail stores may later reverse its decision; however, under the Cannabis Licence Act, 2018, a decision by a municipality to allow cannabis retail stores is final and may not be subsequently reversed. OPTING IN TO ALLOW RETAIL CANNABIS STORES If at any time before January 22, 2019, a municipality decides it will allow cannabis retail stores within its jurisdiction they are encouraged to notify the AGCO as soon as possible. Early notification to the AGCO, using the [email protected] email, will not change the earliest date that licensed retail stores may open, which remains April 1, 2019. If the AGCO does not receive written notification from a municipality by January 22, 2019 they will be considered to be allowing cannabis retail stores by default. INFORMATION FOR ONTARIO MUNICIPALITIES ABOUT CANNABIS RETAIL STORE LICENSING The maximum 25 Retail Store Authorizations will be allocated in accordance with Ontario Regulation 468/18, which provides for the maximum number of stores in the following Regions: a.

TORONTO — The Ontario government, in partnership with the federal government, is delivering on its commitment to provide up to $4 billion in urgently needed one-time assistance to Ontario's 444 municipalities. Municipalities will be provided with up to $1.6 billion as part of the first round of emergency funding under the Safe Restart Agreement. This funding will help municipalities protect the health and well-being of the people of Ontario, while continuing to deliver critical public services, such as public transit and shelters, as the province continues down the path of renewal, growth and economic recovery. Through the Safe Restart Agreement with the federal government, $695 million will help municipalities address operating pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic through the first round of emergency funding, and over $660 million will support transit systems. The province is also providing an additional $212 million through the Social Services Relief Fund to help vulnerable people find shelter. The details were provided today by Premier Doug Ford, Rod Phillips, Minister of Finance, Kinga Surma, Associate Minister of Transportation (GTA), and Jim McDonell, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have had the backs of our municipalities, which is why we are announcing up to $1.6 billion in critical funding today to help strengthen our communities and safely restart our economy," said Premier Ford.
