Cannabis / Dispensary Security in Courtenay.
There is a reason Courtenay facilities directors keep our number saved: when cannabis / dispensary security is needed — urgently or as part of a long-term program — the answer is a licensed officer and a written plan, not a voicemail. British Columbia coverage, Courtenay accountability.
