Mayor of Kamloops says ‘history has been made’ with vote on B.C.’s lone pot shop
KAMLOOPS — Councillors for the City of Kamloops took less than 10 seconds to unanimously approve British Columbia’s first and only marijuana dispensary.
The store to be run by the province in B.C.’s Interior is opening Wednesday as pot sales become legal across Canada.
Mayor Ken Christian announced the approval by saying “history has been made.”
Christian has said the vote was to be held last week during a regular council meeting but was postponed because of the Thanksgiving long weekend.
