Cannabis is coming to Pointe-Claire. The SQDC has signed a lease and will open a store at 1866 Sources Blvd. — onetime home to the bar Bourbon Street West — by the end of March.

The outlet will bring the number of Montreal area stores to five, including current locations on Ste-Catherine St., St-Hubert St., de l’Acadie Blvd. and Queen Mary Rd.

The new shop will offer the same products as all other SQDC outlets, and feature the same design.

Opening an SQDC outlet on the West Island had been in the works for a while.

“We proceed according to markets and areas,” said SQDC spokesperson Fabrice Giguère. “We are in contact with many municipalities in Quebec. We had started discussions with the town (of Pointe-Claire), and were looking for something that met zoning requirements.

“We found a location that corresponded to our needs and respected the laws, so we signed a lease.”

SQDC outlets cannot be located within 250 metres of schools, CEGEPs or universities in Quebec.
