Canyon Cannabis reopens
a month later than expected
Canyon Cannabis reopened March
24 in Mill City, a year and a half after the
original store in Gates was destroyed in
the Labor Day wildfires of 2020.
Canyon Cannabis co-owner Thorin
Thacker successfully campaigned to
have a ballot measure passed to allow
retail sales of marijuana in Mill City in
the November 2021 election.
After that passed and he completed
land use issues on a previously pur-
chased building in Mill City, he hoped to
open by Feb. 14.
But it took a month and a half for the
Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commis-
sion to approve Canyon Cannabis’ appli-
cation to reopen at its new location.
According to OLCC spokesperson
Mark Pettinger, between 15 and 20 mari-
juana dispensaries licensed from the
state were impacted by the wildfires of
2020.
He said the state hadn’t been notified
that Canyon Cannabis was one of the
businesses impacted by the wildfires for
over a month after it was submitted Feb.
7.
“We were bringing those folks to the
front of the queue and expediting their
paperwork, but they also needed to be
ready,” Pettinger said.
Thacker, formerly mayor of Mill City,
found out Canyon Cannabis’ application
had been approved by the state on
March 18, and the store opened days lat-
er.

the first time in two years with a cele-
bration at 1 p.m. April 30 at a new loca-
tion, 281 S. Second Street in Independ-
ence.
The museum closed in 2020 due to
COVID-19.
The new location gives the museum
an additional 1,000 square feet of space
for exhibits compared with its previous
location at the Baptist church.
“Our goal is to celebrate all people
that have inhabited this land, starting
with the Kalapuya who have been here
since time in memoriam,” museum
manager Natascha Adams said. “When
we examine our community’s past, both
beautiful and ugly, we learn, and those
lessons allow us to create a better fu-
ture.”

MARION COUNTY RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS
ABOUT RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS
This is a snapshot of the inspections
conducted by the Marion and Polk
county health departments.
Twice annually, licensed restaurants
receive unannounced inspections that
focus on food temperatures, food prep-
aration practices, worker hygiene, dish-
washing and sanitizing, and equipment
and facility cleanliness.
Violations: Restaurant scores are based
on a 100-point scale. Priority violations
deduct 5 points, and priority foundation
violations deduct 3 points. Violations
recorded on consecutive inspections
result in point deductions being dou-
bled.
Scoring: Scores of 70 or higher are con-
sidered compliant. Restaurants scoring
below 70 must be re-inspected within
30 days or face closure or other admin-
istrative action. Restaurants display a
placard by the entrance to indicate
whether they have passed their last
inspection.
