Pot will be legal soon, but you won’t be able to buy it in this party town

September 4, 2018

In just over a month, pot will be legal across Canada. And although October 17th is a day the entire country has been anticipating for a while now, some municipalities feel that it's too soon. One of those is Gimli, Manitoba - a popular beach town about an hour from Winnipeg. Last December, councillors voted, almost unanimously, to ban the retail sale of pot. Kyle Edwards of Maclean's breaks down the decision, and the impact it could have on a town known by many as a summer party hub.
