      November's CIAO's Cannabis Insiders Meeting on Monday, 11/6/23!


      CIAO is excited to host OLCC Executive Director Craig Prins at our November Cannabis Insiders Meeting. Craig is committed to ensuring the OLCC runs smoothly and is both an effective steward and regulator for the industry.  He however,  does not have a deep history or understanding of the cannabis industry and is working hard to learn from licensees about the industry's history and how the OLCC can support us moving forward.


      Don't let the opportunity to share your thoughts with the OLCC Executive Director pass you by.  This is how change happens come, share, connect!


      Don't Miss Out - RSVP ASAP:
