Cannabis in Manitoba

Cannabis and First Nations.

Six Manitoba First Nations entered into formal partnerships and investment arrangements with companies selected as provincial cannabis retailers. First Nations participation was a key criterion for choosing retailers in the initial Request for Proposals. The following First Nations will be among the first communities in Manitoba to have a non-medical retail cannabis store, opening on or after October 17, 2018:

• Waywayseecappo First Nation
• Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation
• Long Plain First Nation
• Opaskwayak Cree Nation
• Peguis First Nation
• Brokenhead Ojibway Nation

First Nations abide by the same the rules and licensing requirements that non-medical cannabis retailers do. First Nations interested in non-medical cannabis opportunities should contact INRweb@gov.mb.ca.
