Ryerson University is offering its business of cannabis course in Brampton this spring.

On Wednesdays from May 8 to July 31, classes will run out of the Raymond G. Chang School of Continuing Education's satellite location out of the West Tower at Brampton City Hall. Classes will go from 6:30-9:30 p.m. The program will continue to be offered out of Toronto as well.

The City of Brampton was chosen as a host for the program in part because it was one of the first cities in Ontario to open a cannabis retail store, Ganjika House in downtown Brampton.

The course explores topics such as financing for cannabis businesses and the regulations regarding cultivation, processing, distribution, marketing and selling.
