North Bay residents have until Monday, Dec. 16 to file submissions with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission concerning the new Tokyo Smoke cannabis store in the West Ferris area of the city.
If approved it intends to set up shop in the Nipissing Plaza at 390 Lakeshore Drive early in the new year.
A permit will be issued to open the store unless the Commission finds it is not in the public interest to do so.
