Ontario increases cannabis store licensing to 120 per month

 The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has continued working with the Government of Ontario to increase cannabis Retail Store Authorizations (RSAs) to 120 per month. 

Applications

According to the regulator, the received applications were more than 1,630 for cannabis stores to date, and issued RSAs to 489 locations. It will take almost seven months to cover the backlog with this decision. Ontario crossed 100 store licenses in June last year and has increased only recently to match that of Alberta, which has 573 licensed cannabis stores. It was the third time the AGCO made such an announcement to increase the pace of cannabis store approvals. 

Previous Announcements

For the first time, the announcement for speeding up the license was made on September 1 to almost 40 Ontario cannabis stores per month. The following statement was again in December; the decision was to provide licenses to the 80 stores per month. 82.9 million Canadian dollars were purchased by the AGCO, worth of regulated recreational cannabis in November 2020.

To Be Or Not To Be Essential?

Entire Canada went crazy when they heard the news that cannabis is legal in the country now. Now you can’t walk a mile without running into a cannabis store in Toronto. These cannabis stores have been like a breath of (ahem) fresh air. With many countries, including our neighbour, having a different stance of them, it seemed like a win for Canada. Forward to 2021 when the country, especially Ontario, is changing zone colours more frequently than a traffic light. Now the government is deciding which industry or which section, sector and store is deemed ‘essential’ or not. And of course, how can cannabis not be in the conversation. After all, it’s made its mark here. While the zone colours will keep changing (and hopefully for the better), the real question is that “isn’t cannabis essential?!”. If alcohol is essential, that what have legal cannabis stores done to be in this essential and non-essential debate?
