Municipal hall has received more than 200 cannabis inquiries since 2018

As the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) is finally moving ahead with a strategy for cannabis retail, storefronts could be open for business by mid-to-late 2022—and there is no shortage of interest at municipal hall.

Since Canada officially legalized cannabis in October 2018, the RMOW has received more than 200 inquiries from potential retailers to a dedicated email account set up for cannabis.

With its approximately 3 million annual visitors (pre-pandemic), it’s easy to see the appeal.

Vancouver-based cannabis company Eden Empire is among the hundreds who have expressed interest, and the company even held a pair of information sessions in the resort in January 2020.

Cannabis Training Canada Inc. ("CTC") is pleased to announce it will be joining the Cannabis Council of Canada ("C3") and will become the designated trainer of Canada's national association of licensed producers and processors of cannabis.

The partnership will allow CTC to offer expertise and services to C3 Members and will deliver added-value to C3's Membership. Specifically, C3 Members will have the opportunity to create branded training programs to directly connect with retail staff in Canada about their brands and products to boost communication and education efforts, in addition to the potential of creating in-house training programs for Member employees.

Before the legalization of cannabis, some who were opposed to the concept suggested that it could lead to more impaired driving, particularly among youth — a worry that was unwarranted, according to a new study that found that legalization has not been associated with changes in traffic injuries in Canada.

The study, led by University of British Columbia professor Dr. Russ Callaghan, looked at traffic injuries in youth before and after legalization occurred in 2018, and found no significant jump.

Researchers focused on Alberta and Ontario, which are the only two provinces that capture all emergency department visit data. Youth were defined as those 14 to 17 years old in Alberta and 16-to-18-year-olds in Ontario.
