The City of Brampton is searching for the popular’s opinion on private cannabis stores in the city in the number one spot up to the province’s opt-in deadline in January.

City council will settle on a choice in January, and they need to know how Brampton residents genuinely feel about retail cannabis stores.

The majority of Brampton’s city council has remained undecided on whether to permit cannabis stores. Just a single councilor has freely turned out as vehemently against it. In any case, the councilor committee felt further consultation was required before they make their decision.

Last week Brampton’s neighbors toward the south in Mississauga voted no to having cannabis stores in their city. Different urban cities like Toronto and Orangeville have cast a ballot yes. Brampton wants to have a special council meeting next month to make a final decision.

City staff has just been directing open conference over the recent months. According to a general conclusion survey led by the city in November, 54 percent of Brampton strongly or to somewhat supports selecting in. 440 percent strongly or somewhat oppose retail stores, while six percent are undecided.

The same poll also found that of residents who might utilize recreational cannabis, 62 percent would like to acquire it from a retail outlet rather than 29 percent from the online Ontario Cannabis Store website and nine percent who will develop at home.

At this moment the city has a couple of face to face chances to give your opinion on the issue, and plan to include more sessions. Look at the list of events here.

If you can’t make it out to a session, you can also email your thoughts and concerns directly to the city at cannabis@brampton.ca.
