Kia Ora Kannabis on Victoria Avenue hopes to become the city’s next cannabis store.

Spokesperson D.J. O’Conner anticipates they are just a day away from getting their licence.

“Tomorrow morning is our final inspection and we’re hoping to have our licence by the end of the day…and open for Saturday as our grand opening,” says O’Conner.

The store official indicates their product will come from the Ontario Cannabis Store.

Kia Ora Kannabis has been in operation since last year selling cannabis accessories.
