Lottery Ticket Dispute Resolution Process

# data[].attributes.body
The AGCO arbitrates disputes for lottery winning's over $10,000. You could also start proceedings through the Ontario court systems if you wished.  The rules and timelines of the dispute resolution process through the AGCO are very similar to those within the Ontario Small Claims Courts rules.  You must start an application, put the other party on notice and give them time to respond, attend a mediation attempt, and then continue on to try and prove your case before an arbitrator.  All of this is done in Toronto, Ontario.  You can find all the detailed rules here: https://www.agco.ca/sites/default/files/rules_procedure_h.pdf

Canada has recently made personal cannabis use legal in Canada.  It has named the AGCO as the regulatory body to administer the corresponding legislation.  This is so new, however, information on rules and regulations surrounding personal cannabis use are being updated regularly.  You can find more detailed information here: https://www.agco.ca/cannabis/private-retail-licensing-and-regulation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The government of Ontario has announced the AGCO as the regulator for privately run recreational cannabis stores.

Applying its experience as the province's regulator of the alcohol, gaming and horse racing sectors, the AGCO's focus will be on the safe, responsible and lawful sale of cannabis, consistent with the government legislation, once enacted.

The AGCO will move quickly to define the licensing process for private retailers once the legislation has been enacted, and will work closely with the government to support the goal of having private stores licensed and open for business by April 1, 2019.
Note that we are not accepting any applications at this time.
Stay informed

More information about regulations and the licensing process will be shared as it becomes available.
