Yesterday council approved the receiving and filling of a report of the land use controls of marijuana in the city.

It was earlier this month that the SLGA announced the selection of 51 successful cannabis retail store operators, with two of them to operate in Swift Current.

The retail operators will have 12 months within the legalization of cannabis to be in operation.

The City filed a recommendation that the two businesses receive permits for retail in the downtown core away from schools and other sensitive land uses, and that any production operations would be down in the industrial district.

Also mentioned was that the two parties receiving permits are 'very eager' to get the ball rolling and secure a location.
