Ever wondered who steers the ship in the world of cannabis licencing? The answer lies in key site personnel, essential players whose roles depend on the licence type. Here’s a quick pitch into their responsibilities: 

📌 CTLS and Security Clearance: Individuals, whether primary or alternate, must have a CTLS account and apply for security clearance. 

📌 Role Juggling: One person can handle multiple roles if fit to their qualifications.

📌 Role Considerations: Balancing hours, primary or alternate roles and multi-site logistics is crucial for effective duty fulfillment.

📌 Meet the Key Players: 

  • Responsible Person: Binds the license holder, acts as the Health Canada contact, and submits license applications.
  • Head of Security: Ensures compliance with physical security measures and crafts the Organizational Security Plan.
  • Master Grower: Oversees cultivation for specific licenses, demonstrating expertise in regulations.
  • Quality Assurance Person (QAP): Approves cannabis batches, investigates complaints, and may designate qualified alternates. QAP is a must requirement for a Processing Licence Holder. However, a strong QA presence is also highly recommended for cultivation practices. Do you agree? 

📌 Alternate Alert: Alternates are allowed in limited numbers. For instance, only one alternate is allowed for a responsible person while there can be two alternates for QAPs. Clarity prevails for a smooth, compliant cannabis operation.
