Atikokan is adding their name to the list of communities willing to host a cannabis retail store.
Town council made their decision to opt-in earlier this week.
Mayor Dennis Brown says they saw no real reason to vote against it.
“It’s something that’s part of society now so anybody who wants to do that can go ahead. We’re not opting out, we’re staying in.”
Brown says he’s already spoke to one entrepreneur interested in setting up shop when they can.
