B.C. Sets A Record With Nearly $59.5 Million In Cannabis Sales
Province sees a 21 per cent year-over-year increase in cannabis sales
Canadian cannabis sales continued to climb in September, with B.C. posting record-high numbers. The province netted nearly $59.5 million in sales from licensed cannabis stores, a near 21 per cent increase year-over-year, according to the latest figures from Statistics Canada.
The strong sales occurred despite worries that the two-week strike launched by the British Columbia General Employees Union (BCGEU) in August would impact inventories.
Instead of consumers turning to the illicit market, however, the province saw a modest uptick in sales from August.
Countrywide cannabis sales increased to more than $389 million for the month, up slightly from August. In September 2021, Canadian sales totalled $347 million, marking a 11.5 per cent year-over-year increase.
