The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority approved 51 applicants for cannabis retail licenses earlier this year, but don’t look for province-wide openings.
“We know that not everyone is going to be ready for Oct. 17th,” SLGA spokesman David Morris told the Regina Leader-Post earlier this month.

SLGA officials say that no final permits will be granted until Oct. 17. They expect about one-third of the 51 licensed stores to be ready to go on that day.
That doesn’t necessarily mean no stores will be open on the 17th. We’ve seen this in some US states that go legal; the final licence go-ahead sometimes arrives on the morning of opening day via e-mail. At this point, it looks like the nearest stores ready to open are the four Jimmy’s Cannabis shops, listed below, as well as Lush Leaf Cannabis in Esterhazy.
