Burb Cannabis Corp. received final approval from the Metro Vancouver Regional District board of directors to open a cannabis retail store at the University of British Columbia, marking it's eighth location in British Columbia, the maximum allowable per the province's current retail cap for any single brand.
"This was a big victory for us after a contentious debate around public safety and community fit," stated John Kaye, CEO and co-founder at Burb. "Despite concerns grounded in age-old stigma from nearby residents, many of whom were off-shore residential owners, the board made an informed decision that aligned with the overwhelming voice of the student body as well as the tenets of legalization in our country. We're beyond excited to bring Burb to campus and provide safe access to students and residents this fall."
