THUNDER BAY -- The city's marijuana retail store will be located in the Intercity area.
The province on Wednesday announced the first four locations of the Ontario Cannabis Store, with the Thunder Bay site located at 570 Harbour Expressway. That address is the multi-unit commercial building in front of the Real Canadian Superstore.
Other locations announced are in Toronto, Guelph and Kingston.
According to the province's website, the retail stores would be designed with a lobby area before individuals enter the main retail area. Cannabis would not be available in the lobby and individuals would have to produce ID to enter the retail area.
City of Thunder Bay officials had previously urged the province to keep the store location away from waterways, schools or areas where young people gather.
