Niagara Falls, Ont., is set to receive at least one government-run marijuana shop when recreational marijuana becomes legal next July.

On Tuesday night, a city official read a letter from Ontario Ministry of Finance dated Nov. 28 stating that the popular tourist destination has been identified “for the location of at least one initial cannabis retail store by July 2018.”

Coun. Wayne Thomson, along with Mayor Jim Diodati, voiced their disappointment when the Honeymoon Capital wasn't among the first 14 cities announced earlier this month by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to host a legal pot shop next July.

The LCBO, which will run new marijuana stores through a subsidiary, announced Barrie, Brampton, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Vaughan, and Windsor in the first wave.

Thomson and Diodati said they were surprised Niagara Falls, which welcomes an estimated 14 million visitors annually, wasn't among the first communities announced.
