Mapping Ontario's Unlicensed Cannabis Stores

Unlicensed cannabis stores continue to operate across Ontario, undercutting licensed retailers who bear the full cost of regulatory compliance.

Why we map it

Reliable data on the scale and location of the unlicensed market is essential to making the case for enforcement action. The Council's mapping project documents unlicensed retail activity and shares findings with regulators and municipal authorities.

How members can help

Retailers who observe unlicensed operations in their community can report locations to the Council. All reports are treated confidentially.
