Globe/CP say Canopy, rivals see pot store spot queried

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is looking into how a decision was made to place one of the province's first government-run cannabis stores less than a kilometre from a school. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Ms. Wynne said on Thursday that safety remains her top concern as the province rolls out a chain of stores to sell and distribute recreational marijuana. The Premier said she would ask her staff what led to the selection of the Toronto site. The province announced the locations of its first four pot stores on Wednesday, saying they would be set up in Guelph, Kingston, Toronto and Thunder Bay. The site in east Toronto, however, is close to at least one school, which came as a surprise to the Toronto District School Board. The board was not consulted about the location, said the board's chairman, Robin Pilkey. She said the lack of communication is concerning, given that dozens more shops are set to open across the province this year. Once locations are announced it becomes harder to change them, she said. The Ontario Public School Boards Association said the site selection process itself is not clear and that needs to change.
