Effective immediately, registered cannabis suppliers or representatives may provide retail cannabis store licensees with branded promotional display cases, branded refrigeration or interior signage that meet the requirements specified in Section 6.3.11 of the RCSH and Section 4.3.11 of the CRH respectively.

Please familiarize yourself with the amended policies, and ensure all affected staff are notified of the new requirements.
