The Ontario Cannabis Association (OCA) is thrilled to announce a major development in the cannabis industry. The OCA applauds the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) for their recent decision to implement a long-awaited delivery solution that helps out Licenced Producers (LPs) across Ontario.

 

After years of requests, the OCS has made a ground-breaking decision to allow the type of delivery that optimizes operations and streamlines the delivery process. This decision permits LPs to consolidate shipments, leading to significant time savings for both LPs and receivers. No longer will trucks be dispatched for small loads that occupy as little as 1 or 2% of the total vehicle space. This move towards consolidated shipments will greatly reduce unnecessary trips, contributing to a substantial reduction in our collective carbon footprint and supporting the industry's commitment to environmental sustainability.

 

The OCA commends its members for their unwavering perseverance and dedication in advocating for this transformative delivery solution. Through collaborative efforts and the collective voice of the OCA, a significant milestone has been achieved that will revolutionize the future of cannabis delivery in Ontario. The OCA eagerly anticipates the numerous benefits this innovative delivery solution will bring to its members. Furthermore, the OCA pledges to maintain close collaboration with the OCS and other industry partners to ensure a seamless and responsible implementation.

 

The OCA looks forward to the successful outcomes of this delivery solution and the positive impact it will have on the cannabis industry in Ontario.
