The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) has a voice when it comes to liquor licensing and cannabis production and sales in the region. There is also a role for the CSRD and its citizens in proposals for new cell towers in the region.
The process of issuing licenses for both cannabis production and retail sales is under the authority of the provincial and federal government. But local governments, like the CSRD, have been given the chance to provide recommendations to the BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.
