A public consultation has been approved for Canada’s first Indigenous reserve-owned licensed cannabis shop to open a location in Merritt, B.C. The owners of the proposed shop, the Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) or T’exelcemc (people of WLFN) of the Secwepemc Nation, are already veterans of the cannabis business. The business proposal for the new shop, which would be located in the Adelphi Hotel, was presented to Merritt City Council by Chief of Williams Lake First Nation Willie Sellars last month. Public notices are set to be posted at and within 100 feet of the proposed site, requesting written input from local residents. Although Merritt previously placed a four-store cap in place to limit cannabis shops within its limits, the cap was removed late last year.
