In the one year since Mississauga has allowed cannabis stores, over 40 shops have been authorized to open across the city and more are on the horizon.

The first legal cannabis shops opened in Ontario on April 1, 2019 but the City of Mississauga was one of several communities that opted out of allowing legal shops.

Oakville, Markham, Whitby and Vaughan also opted out initially.

Concerns in Mississauga were related to zoning and having shops too close to schools. But illegal shops operated and were difficult to shut down.

With new councillors at the table on April 19 last year, Mississauga council voted 8-4 in favour of lifting the long-standing ban. Councillors Stephen Dasko, Carolyn Parrish, Chris Fonseca and John Kovac, voted against lifting the ban.

It didn’t take long for the first shops to apply to open.

In early May 2023, there were five applications for cannabis shops in Mississauga, according to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), which is responsible for regulating Ontario’s alcohol, gaming and horse racing sectors and cannabis retail stores.

And on May 26, the first shop, Pop’s Cannabis opened its doors at Clarkson Crossing Mall.

Now nearly a year later, there are 42 cannabis shops approved to open in Mississauga and a further 11 to come, according to the AGCO.

These are all the cannabis shops approved or pending approval in Mississauga as of April 10:
