The AGCO employs a risk-based approach when issuing and regulating Cannabis Retail Operator Licences, Cannabis Retail Manager Licences, and Cannabis Retail Store Authorizations. Risk-based licensing allows the AGCO to encourage good business practices throughout the industry and to focus its own regulatory resources where they will make the most difference.
If you have a condition(s) on your cannabis Retail Operator Licence, Retail Manager Licence and/or Retail Store Authorization, and circumstances have changed, you may apply to have a condition removed. Depending on the manner in which the condition was added to your licence and/or authorization you will be required to apply to either the AGCO or the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT).
As part of the AGCO’s risk-based licensing approach, one or more conditions may be attached to a Cannabis Retail Operator Licence, Retail Manager Licence and/or Retail Store Authorization by the Registrar to help the licensee minimize risks identified during the assessment process. Below is a complete list of the conditions the Registrar may impose, as approved by the AGCO Board of Directors:

If there is a change to the permit area(s) or the event after the permit is issued (such as a change in location, date, event type, estimated attendance and/or capacity, the addition of tiered seating in outdoor areas, or the addition of participating licensees) the permit holder must submit a change request. In some cases, a new permit may be required.
Generally, all liquor sold or served at a permitted event must be purchased in Ontario through a government store or a store authorized under the Liquor Licence and Control Act. This includes any LCBO store, LCBO Agency store, The Beer Store, or any authorized manufacturer’s retail store. Some exceptions for purchasing liquor under the permit may apply.
An applicant must be 19 years of age or older to obtain an SOP. If the applicant is an organization, association or company, the application must be completed by a member or representative who will be at least 19 years of age on the day of the event, who has signing authority for the organization, association or company. Applicants must provide all information, materials, documentation or approvals as may be requested.
