If they're not going to go to Burling- ton or Toronto, the worry is what if they purchase it off of the black market," he "said; Di Lorenzo says the same can apply to buying untested. and potentially dangerous marijuana on- line, a business model that's reportedly flourish- ingdue toa lack of legal op- tions. In making the recom-. mendation, Tawn staff took into account recent remarks from Halton Po- lice Chief Steve Tanner, as - well as community feed- back. An online survey con- ducted by the town to gauge public's opinion shows that 57.4 per cent supported having canna- | bis outlets here and 41.1 per cent against. Coun. Mike Cluett was on the opposing side last 'year, saying that council members "were under the gun with a (tight) time- frame and deadline." Now, having seen the "generally positive" public feedback and the impacts on other municipalities that opted in, he changed THE ISSUE: LOCAL CANNABIS STORES LOCAL IMPACT. ALLOWING CANNABIS RETAIL BUSINESSES IN TOWN WILL ENSURE A SAFE AND CONTROLLED ACCESS TO CANNABIS his stance and supported staff' recommendation. "It's been a long year talking to residents, going over the reports," he said at the meeting. "I would like to say that my mind has been not necessarily completely put at ease, but a little bit more at ease into saying that we move for- ward with allowing canna- bis retail in Milton." Both councillors agree that marijuana should be kept out of the hands of - children and youth -- and that the retail locations have to be at least 150 me- ters away from schools, daycare centres and public fagliities, Cluett also believes there's' room for negotia- tion with the Province to ncrease the distance be- 'ween the stores and "plae- as of concern."

Coun. Sameera Ali was the sole dissenting vote Monday. : . "The argument that this will bring in more econo- my and more money to the town...Idon't think that's a valid argument," she said, noting that whether it's a. cannabis store or a candy store -- the Town will get similar property tax reve- nue. Following the decision to opt in, Town staff will in- form the Alcohol and Gam- ing Commission of Ontario (AGCO) -- a provincial agency that is responsible for regulating cannabis re- tail, among others -- that cannabis stores are now permitted to operate with- _in the Town of Milton. There's no word yet when AGCO will hold the third cannabis retail store lottery draw.
