The Government of Canada has introduced legislation to legalize cannabis. There will be new federal, provincial and municipal processes for cannabis production, sale and consumption.

The legalization of cannabis will have many impacts. The Town of Legal is reviewing federal and provincial direction and legislation as it becomes available to help manage the legalization of cannabis in the best interest of our community.

The Town of Legal thanks everyone who participated in completing the Legalization of Cannabis and Land Use Survey.
