In a council agenda online, city staff said they’ve already received negative feedback from local business and residents if the cannabis store were to operate.
Some feedback given by Rosslanders included that the city doesn’t need a second cannabis store, a second cannabis store on the same block of an existing one wouldn’t portray a good image for the city and that the region is already well served with cannabis stores.
Rossland’s first cannabis store, Jimmy’s Cannabis shop, opened in the fall of 2019.
There are already seven cannabis stores in Castlegar, five in Trail and one in Warfield.
