In the letter, signed by Det. Supt. Dave Haye, police were notifying the businesses that the “Saskatoon Police Service has been made aware that your business may be operating outside of the legal framework.”

According to police in a news release, the business operators would be told that they “have an immediate opportunity to voluntarily comply with the legislation.”

In the release, police said officers will investigate the sale of illegal or illicit cannabis in an effort to “ensure the safety and security of the community,” and ensure those who use cannabis for medical or recreational purposes have access safe and legitimate sources of cannabis.
