    This includes the South Shore of the Bay of Islands, the Port au Port Peninsula, Rocky Harbour, Norris Point, Trout River and Wiltondale.

    It appears cannabis is a “budding” business….the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC) is looking for licensed retailers across the province, and 15 of them will be in rural areas. The expansion focuses primarily on rural and underserved communities. Among the list of locations, NLC is looking for retailers on the South Shore of the Bay of Islands, the Port au Port Peninsula, Rocky Harbour, Norris Point, Trout River and Wiltondale. These are tier 4 cannabis retail locations, which allow the sale of cannabis products and accessories within an existing retail store. Applications are due by July 4th and more information can be found at nlliquor.com. NLC currently supplies 63 licensed cannabis and an online platform for legal cannabis purchases at ShopCannabisNL.com
