‘Everything is on pause until we evaluate our options,’ says Wagmatcook chief
The Crown corporation in charge of cannabis sales in Nova Scotia has signed an agreement with a Mi’kmaw community for what would be a first-of-its-kind on-reserve shop owned by the band —but the chief says that plan is now on ice.
It’s not clear when the agreement between the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) and Wagmatcook First Nation was signed, but it was made possible in April when the province adopted new cannabis retail regulations.
