The 51 operators, including the two in Moose Jaw, have now been selected to receive cannabis retail store permits, with two-thirds of those recipients being from Saskatchewan.

Applicants were chosen through a two-phase Request for Proposal (RFP) selection process that began all the way back in March with 107 applications for the two in Moose Jaw. Those who applied had to first pass a screening for qualifications focused on financial and sales/inventory tracking systems involved in the RFP, and then were selected through a lottery draw. 

Those selected now have 45 days to begin the permitting process, but permits will not be in effect until legalization, and they must be operational within 12 months of legalization. Other stipulations also say the retail stores must be standalone operations, sell only cannabis, cannabis accessories and ancillary items as defined by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.

Alcohol will also not be allowed to be sold within cannabis retail stores.

One of the two operators chosen for Moose Jaw is a duo of business operators in Moose Jaw and Weyburn, Ira Dales and Alexander Carleton of Jack Carleton Sales Ltd. 

The second was 102037242 Saskatchewan Ltd, which are family business operators from Saskatoon with the contact Darcy Fisher.

This announcement comes three days after Moose Jaw had released their cannabis zoning laws.
