Recently local District 33 Winery reached out to Council with concerns of Provincial changes to allow Nova Scotia wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries to establish permanent secondary retail locations with cross-selling limits. Council sent a letter to Minister John Lohr noting how limits may hurt newer producers and advocating for the secondary retail framework to be explored further.
