New cannabis retail store set to open in Burlington
Published November 27, 2020 at 1:58 pm
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has received an application approved by the City of Burlington Council for a 17th cannabis retail store called Sweet Releafs Inc.
The proposed location will be at 728 Burloak Dr., Unit C4.
On Jan. 14, 2019, Burlington City Council voted to allow the operation of retail cannabis stores in Burlington.
Written comments about the proposed location will be received by the AGCO until Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, and can be submitted online.
The AGCO will accept submissions from a resident of the municipality in which the proposed store is located and the municipality representing the area in which the proposed store is located and/or its upper-tier municipality.
Comments submitted to the AGCO should be about protecting public health and safety, protecting youth and restricting their access to cannabis and preventing illicit activities in relation to cannabis.
