Calgary Alberta has 66 licensed REC stores open and production sites for three LPs, as well as 154 approved new REC locations in varying degrees of readiness. The city says that explains why Calgary's cannabis-related costs have exceeded $10.3M. The combined $6.7M in policing costs and $3.5M in other costs more than exceeds the one-time $3.84M payment the city received from the Alberta Municipal Cannabis Transition Program.Calgary Herald
