It was the government’s acceptance of these recommendations that resulted in the genesis of the very successful “Serving it Right” Program, which for decades, has served BC extremely well.

It is unfortunate that this program, which was created in British Columbia, for British Columbians, and has served the province’s hospitality industry extremely well, is now based in Alberta. - Bert Hick

Taking the show on the road, and setting up at the offices of the Attorney General of British Columbia, Bert is joined on the hot mic, of License to Chill, by Minister David Eby.

The liquor licensing process can often be lengthy and confusing. The Rising Tide Consultants’ experts helps you minimize risks and plan the right strategic steps for you to complete liquor license applications properly.

We also work with clients across the country on applications for brewery, winery, and distillery licenses as well, along with restaurants and bars, so no matter the issue you’re facing, we have your back.

In studio today, Bert is joined by Queen’s Counsel and legendary criminal defense lawyer, John Conroy, QC. In historic cases before the Supreme Court, Conroy has defended the rights of patients using medicinal marijuana.

Now in the later years of his practice, Conroy sits down with Bert, to reflect on what needs to change going forward, and how our current cannabis legislation has largely forgotten the medical patients, for whom much of legalization was purported to be for.

Finally after a year of sluggish sales, and much to the relief of licensed cannabis producers, the Ontario government is proposing moving to an “open allocation” system for issuing cannabis store licenses, in 2020.

From the very launch of the legalized market, each province has had the autonomy to develop its own model for implementing this new licensed industry. Ontario barely has any retailers, while on the east coast, New Brunswick arguably has too many.

With British Columbia historically being home to some of the best craft growers and producers in the world, and with a diversity rivaling VQA, how do you think the government should proceed with simplifying the licensing process and opening up the market on the west coast?

Whether in the early stages of development or if you’re ready to sign the paper work now, contact Rising Tide Consultants, speak for our experts, and be assured that your licensing process is a job well done.

Rising Tide Consultants’ founder Bert Hick, on his podcast, License to Chill, sat down with cannabis leader and advocate Jamie Shaw.

As Canada’s only court-certified dispensary expert, Shaw has been both a witness to and a key player in some of our country’s most landmark decisions on cannabis reform and medicinal access.

She has successfully lobbied for dispensary regulations in Vancouver, Victoria, and other Canadian municipalities under prohibition, and has consulted at length, with all levels of government, on cannabis regulations.
