Ontario's legal cannabis industry is gaining ground in its fight against the illicit market, but the progress likely won't last long because of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. says co-founder Terry Booth has retired from the company's board of directors.

“We are pleased to open the market further by allowing more retailers to apply for retail licences,” said Crown Services minister Jeff Wharton.

A year after the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, Hamilton has two legal pot shops and three more on the way.

Canadians wanting to cross the U.S. border are being asked different marijuana questions than they were before cannabis was legal, a U.S.-based lawyer says.

If approved, the two proposed cannabis store locations would become London's fourth and fifth pot shops.

The City of Kelowna says eight cannabis stores have received zoning approval and another seven are in the approval process.

Five licences will now be issued per week using a first-in, first-out queue the AGLC has been maintaining.

Hamilton's second licensed cannabis store has opened its doors at its Dundas location.

Seven rural Manitoba communities will soon be home to a cannabis store, including Altona, Flin Flon, Lac du Bonnet and Niverville.
