CVCAN held its first Community Town Hall at Atomic Budz Lounge & Dispensary in Cathedral City
on January 10, 2026.

The purpose of the Town Hall was to hear from the community to help shape CVCAN’s mission, priorities, and programming for the year ahead. This forum provided a great opportunity and a safe space for individuals and businesses to share their thoughts and suggestions as to how we can help make our Coachella Valley community better.

The event was well attended and a robust conversation was had. So great to see Councilpersons Gardner and Pye from the great city of Desert Hot Springs and Amber Duff from Mission Springs Water District at CVCAN’s Community Town Hall this past Saturday morning. Very much appreciate
these folks and all others for taking time to attend and most importantly participate in the event.

Much love and mad props to the team at Atomic Budz Lounge & Dispensary in Cathedral City for hosting us. Great people, great lounge and great product offerings.

We look forward to holding more of these sorts of events over the coming year and encourage individuals, businesses (whether cannabis related or not ) as well as city officials and staff to be part of!

We would also like to thank Ishqa Hillman and K.C. Santana for helping us promote this event.
