POT SHOP ROBBERIES SPUR PUSH TO END RESTRICTIONS ON WINDOW DISPLAYS

POT SHOP ROBBERIES SPUR PUSH TO END RESTRICTIONS ON WINDOW DISPLAYS

When Elisa Keay works at her Toronto cannabis store, the days feel long and dark
— even when the sun is bright.

The gloominess comes from the frosted windows that adorn K's Pot Shop in
Leslieville, blocking out the weather or even who is about to walk into her
store.

The windows are frosted to comply with regulations requiring pot be shielded
from the view of minors, but Keay and others argue the requirements should be
dropped because they are leaving workers feeling closed off from their
neighbourhoods and their stores more likely to be targeted by robbers.



"You start to feel very isolated, like you're sitting in a box and the world's
going by on the street and you realize how disconnected you are," said Keay.

 * Alberta pot shops now allowed to take down window coverings after robberies
 * B.C. cannabis retailers say federal regulations making them targets for
   thieves

Even more worrisome, she said, is the fact that window coverings can encourage
theft because they give cover to anyone inside and prevent pedestrians from
noticing a crime underway as they pass a store.

"Nobody can see what's happening inside," said Keay.

"I have a number of colleagues and friends in the industry who have had their
stores held up at gunpoint and have had assaults happen inside their stores ...
That opportunity is very real because of those window coverings."

Her employees carry panic buttons in the event they're caught up in a robbery.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which regulates the province's
cannabis retailers, said stores must ensure cannabis products are not visible
from the shop's exterior.

"Ontario retail cannabis stores are able to make their own decisions as (to) how
they meet the standards, and as such are not required to cover their windows or
block visibility into the store," said spokesman Raymond Kahnert in an email.

To avoid covering their windows, some have built a walled off entryway that
blocks the view into the store, but Keay said they can be difficult to construct
in small spaces, so relaxed restrictions like those implemented in Alberta are
preferred.

A "significant rise" in robberies, particularly in Calgary, prompted Alberta's
cannabis regulator to allow stores to take down window coverings last summer.

News reports in the lead up to the regulator's move detailed a spate of
incidents where robbers, who were sometimes armed, entered stores to steal cash
and weed, leaving workers shaken.

"Use of violence and weapons has occurred in some commercial robberies, and the
Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission is concerned for the safety of
staff, customers and responding police officers," Dave Berry, the regulator's
executive vice-president, said in an August letter to stores announcing the
change.

Jaclynn Pehota, the executive director at the Retail Cannabis Council of B.C.,
said she's unaware of any other province that has relaxed regulations around
window coverings to the extent that Alberta has.

However, she said the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), which
regulates pot in British Columbia, removed rules requiring weed stores to be
enclosed with non-transparent walls.



But Pehota said the relaxation didn't spur a change because stores must still
ensure cannabis products, which come in plain packaging that must not entice
youths, cannot be seen from outside.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to have opaque windows, if you have a
regulation that says you can't see any cannabis or cannabis products from the
street and you have a storefront that's all windows," she said.

David Haslam, communications director for B.C.'s Ministry of Public Safety and
Solicitor General, said the LCRB "understands that some businesses continue to
experience challenges, even though the requirement was removed, and is actively
working with the cannabis industry and other stakeholders to address this issue
in the interest of public safety."

Pehota intends to keep pushing regulators to relax their window covering and
visibility rules and is using safety as one of the top motivators.

She said she has heard from at least eight retailers who experienced break-ins
recently, including several that turned violent.

"We had an instance where there was somebody who ended up getting tied up and
left in their shop for a period of time and nobody knew that poor person was in
there," she said.

"My concern is that it's going to get worse before it's better and I'm worried
that somebody is going to get seriously hurt."

High Tide Inc., which has 151 stores in five provinces and has experienced armed
robberies, had similar worries, which encouraged it to advocate for Alberta to
remove regulations prohibiting pot products from being visible from a store's
exterior.

Now, it's calling on other provinces and the federal government to copy such
legislation, which it said will counter the fact that "criminals can run amok
without fear of public scrutiny from outside of the store."

"In many cases these gangs steal legal cannabis products for the purpose of
diverting them to the illicit market where no age checks are in place," Omar
Khan, High Tide's chief communications and public affairs officer, said in an
email.

"Applying the new Alberta standard coast to coast will be a win for community
safety."
