The New Brunswick Liquor Corporation has called for retail spaces to distribute marijuana in British Columbia.
The company is searching for 3,000-square-foot spaces to spread throughout 15 BC communities that will not be associated with the corporation’s liquor chains. According to the ad, these spaces should be well on their way by May 31, 2018.
Back in September, BC declared that a different corporation—one other than Crown—would arrange for the shift in the sale of recreational marijuana. While confirmation on who would be overseeing the distribution of marijuana has not been confirmed, NB Liquor has been a large part in deciding what will be done in relation to bringing marijuana into the retail environment.
“We have to be ready for the July 2018 deadline and issuing tenders for the potential retail space allows us to do this,” said Sarah Bustard, spokeswoman of the Department of Finance.
