Flin Flon is on the list of communities where retailers can now apply for an operating license.  Last year the province released a request for pre-qualification seeking potential retailers interested in operating cannabis stores in Manitoba. Pre-qualified applicants will now participate in a randomized draw for each location and selected applicants will proceed through the agreement and licensing process to operate in seven communities including Flin Flon.

The Manitoba government says they have been working with local governments to ensure they have fair say and are onboard with the proposed retail locations.  Late last year Flin Flon City Council designated the uptown commercial area as a zone for the permitted sale and distribution of recreational cannabis.
