The City of Penticton is moving to a capped system for its cannabis retail stores, meaning only 10 more businesses will be permitted to set up shop in the city.

During a city council meeting, on May 21, council voted to amend the city’s cannabis retail sales policy to allow a total of 14 cannabis stores in the city, seven in the downtown and seven outside of it.
