Feedback Period for Cannabis Licenses Ends on Tuesday

The 14 day feedback period concerning the 14 people or groups who applied for a Cannabis license in Kahnawake, is coming up on Tuesday, April 2^nd.

During the feedback period, Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke or Approved Kahnawà:ke Residents may
make written submissions to the Cannabis Control Board (KCCB) raising any questions or concerns about the eligible
applications/applicants.
Written submissions can be emailed to the KCCB: Cannabis.board@mck.ca.

“We’re asking for feedback from the community members. There’s a listing of all the applicants and we just wanted to make the community aware that all of the individuals are not being issued a permit. It’s the pre-eligibility requirement. They’ve been accepted but it’s just pre-eligibility,” Chair of the KCCB Tara Jacobs told K1037 News.

After that the KCCB will conduct its due diligence on the applicants. Then, three licences for the remaining applicants will be awarded through some sort of live lottery. Jacobs says that even though there is no firm deadline, the licenses will likely be awarded within the next year.
