The District of Summerland has approved what could be the Okanagan’s first retail cannabis storefront.
Council gave the green-light to the application Monday with little discussion.
The store proposed by the owners of Summerland Gold and Silver Exchange is planned for the Summer Faire Mall just off Highway 97 at Prairie Valley Road.
The shop will operate under the Green Gaia Cannabis Co. banner with hours of 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. — similar to the nearby liquor store.
Beyond a man that spoke in support of the store during public comment period, the district did not receive any feedback from residents on the plan.
The RCMP and school district also did not voice any concerns about the proposal.
Applicant Dionne Bakalos told Castanet Tuesday that the application is now in the provincial government’s hands. It’s unclear how long it will take the store to receive final approval to allow its opening.
