Nunavut's Department of Finance has received an application to open a cannabis store in Iqaluit, and is looking for community feedback. In a news release sent Monday, the department said the office of the superintendent of licensing got the application from Nuna Cannabis Store Inc. The proposed store location is at 1501 Federal Road, near the airport, with suggested hours from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with the exception of holidays. The application is for an "enclosed cannabis store," which according to the release is a place where cannabis is sold, smell jars can be used, and product information can be discussed with customers. The territorial government is required to consult the community when an application is received under Nunavut's Cannabis Act.
