Why it matters
The current rules require municipal permission for cannabis retailers under the authority of Manitoba's Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority. Currently, licensed retail cannabis stores are not permitted in Winkler. If the majority votes yes, sales would be allowed; otherwise, the current prohibition would remain in place.
