The owner of Ottawa’s first cannabis vapour lounge says he expects his business to be up and running within a week or two after city officials shut it down before the long weekend.

BuzzOn vapour lounge was temporarily shut down by city officials on Friday and fined $3,000 in what it describes as a “strong-arm tactic.”

The city says the Vanier business is violating the building code.

Owner Wayne Robillard said on Sunday the city wants the lounge rezoned as a place of assembly rather than a retail business, and claims the city moved up a May 25 deadline to Friday.

In a note on its Facebook page Friday evening, BuzzOn wrote that “bylaw entered with police and a cease and desist order today to prevent us from being open for the weekend.”

Robillard said he’ll have to perform some renovations—including adding another bathroom—and have an architect come in to assess the building.

“It’s probably going to be a lot easier for us to just pay to renovate and get up to code to whatever it is they want than it is to actually fight their ruling,” he said. “It just means we might be shut down for a little while.”
