As we previously reported, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will hold a lottery to determine which interested parties will be invited to apply for a retail operator license. The Ontario government has set an initial cap on the number of cannabis retail store authorizations it will issue at 25 and each holder of a retail operator license will only be eligible to apply for one such authorization.
Interested parties may submit an expression of interest (EOI) to the AGCO from 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) January 7 until 12 p.m. EST January 9, 2019.
The AGCO released the rules for the lottery on January 2, 2019. These rules will apply to all licenses that are issued until December 13, 2019, or until the Ontario government decides to open the process. The full text of the rules is available here. Key points include:
The AGCO has stated that all expressions of interest received between January 7 and 9 will be pooled, meaning no advantage will be given to those who submit EOIs early. Prospective applicants should create an account on iAGCO to be prepared to submit an expression of interest between January 7 and 9.

The proliferation of internet-enabled devices has allowed children to access the internet at an increasingly younger age, often sharing their personal data without fully appreciating the risks and consequences of doing so. Accordingly, organisations that collect children’s personal data online have a shared responsibility to ensure that such personal data is collected with the appropriate consent obtained and is adequately protected, and to allow children to safely participate in the online space.
