(TRI-CITIES) April 17, 2023 — The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has issued an open letter of support for the establishment of cannabis consumption spaces in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody.
"The legalization of cannabis five years ago has brought changes to our communities, and with that, the need for regulated places for its consumption," said Tri-Cities Chamber CEO Leslie Courchesne. "Allowing for these spaces would not only provide new business opportunities for our community, but would also help to promote responsible and safe cannabis use."
