Cannabis is coming to Bridgewater.

The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation, or NSLC, announced three new locations across the province that have been added as cannabis retail locations, including one on Dufferin Street in Bridgewater.

Previously, the province had identified nine stores, with the closest location to Queens County being the NSLC in Yarmouth.

"Since we announced the first nine stores that would sell cannabis, NSLC has been working to identify additional locations that could be renovated for cannabis sales," said finance and treasury board Minister Karen Casey in a release. 

"The addition of these three stores will provide greater access to the legal market for Nova Scotians."

The first nine NSLC stores announced in January were Amherst, Dartmouth, two in Halifax, Lower Sackville, New Glasgow, Sydney River, Truro and Yarmouth.

The three new locations are New Minas, Bridgewater and Antigonish.

Just as it does with alcohol products, the NSLC states it will follow federal requirements dictating how cannabis is to be sold and advertised and will train staff members on helping customers make informed choices. 

Alcohol and cannabis will be in two separate parts of each store and will not be advertised together.
