Kindersley town council has approved the go-ahead of a Cannabis Retail Store located at 208-12th Avenue East. The decision was made at the Regular Meeting of Council on August 24.
Resolution No. 214-20 states: That the Council of the Town of Kindersley resolves to approve the Cannabis Retail Store (DU#20-07) as a Discretionary Use at 208 12th Avenue East; ON THE CONDITION THAT it complies with the Development Standards of Discretionary Commercial & Industrial Use pursuant to Section 6.14.5.1 (a), of Zoning Bylaw 04-14; and THAT if any of the conditions outlined above are not met for this Cannabis Retail Store, then the permit may not be approved and/or may be revoked.
The resolution was moved by Councillor Dean Galbraith and seconded by Councillor Gary Becker.
The cannabis retail store will be known as 5Buds Cannabis.
5Buds Cannabis currently has three physical locations across the province located in North Battleford, Warman and Yorkton.
According to their website, the company is 100% Saskatchewan owned with profits from their stores going towards 13 First Nations economic development in the province.
The website also states that they encourage responsible use of cannabis by:
Adhering to all federal and provincial laws, standards and guidelines.
Providing responsible service training to all staff.
Educating customers on the potentially harmful effects of our products and risks associated with black market cannabis.
Providing responsible use information in our stores.
Corey Tyacke is the Corporate General Manager for 5Buds. He is hopeful that they can have their Kindersley location open by late October or early November.
