The first proposal to open a legal cannabis shop in eastern Ontario would see a store on Wellington Street W. near Island Park Drive. Jeff Leiper said he plans to work with the new cannabis store owner to make sure the store integrates well into the community. Sean Lance of Herb & Spice Shop Wellington is pleased a cannabis store may open down the street. Liliana Piazza, owner of the Ottawa Bagelshop and Deli across the street from the proposed cannabis store, said she's curious to see how the outlet will operate. Renata Gorza works in the area and thinks a cannabis store will be good for the economy.
