On Friday November 20, 2020, the Ontario Government announced
that both Toronto and Peel regions would be heading into a COVID-19
lockdown starting Monday November 23, 2020 at 12:01 am. Among other
things, Premier Ford announced that retail stores will be permitted
to be open only for curbside pick-up and delivery. There are
exceptions for supermarkets, hardware stores, and beer and liquor
stores. However, the government announced that cannabis retail
stores in these regions were not exempt from the lockdown
requirements.
Cannabis retailers in Ontario are prohibited from delivering
cannabis or allowing curbside pick-up. However, due to the
lockdown, the Ontario Government is permitting cannabis retailers
in these regions to offer curbside pick-up and delivery services
during this temporary measure.
