The dispensary would be operated by the B.C.
The store would include 145 square metres for office and storage, and employ eight to 12 people.
North Delta resident Daniel Chen said he was opposed to the dispensary because of its proximity to elementary and secondary schools.
BC Liquor Distribution Branch representative Ryan McKeown, in his presentation to council, noted the edibles sold in the store would be in child-resistant plain packaging and limited to 10 milligram servings.
McKeown said he couldn’t really speak to the question as licensing of cannabis producers falls to a different branch of government .
In late November, 2021, council approved the city’s first dispensary, located at 616 Chester Road on Annacis Island.
Two more dispensaries are being proposed in North Delta, though to date neither application has made its way before council.
