Object to a licence application near you

When a business applies for a new cannabis retail store authorization, new liquor sales licence (or in some cases wants to add a licenced area to an existing liquor sales licence), notice of this change is posted publicly.

If you have concerns about a proposed application for a cannabis retail store authorization or liquor sales licence in your area, you may object to the application if you live in that municipality.
