Toronto, ON – Over the past few months there have been many new applications to the AGCO for cannabis retail store licenses. There have also been a noticeable amount of applications made in the Riverside neighbourhood of Toronto-Danforth – a cluster of four stores along Queen St. East between Hamilton St. and Degrassi St.
Residents have shared their concerns with local City Councillor Paula Fletcher. The Board of the Ralph Thornton Community Centre has sent a letter to the AGCO to voice their concerns about the proliferation of stores in such a small geographic area.
