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.

Libraries are so much more than just books, they are portals to all of the world’s knowledge. They are a gathering place, a quiet place for individuals, and provide a community space for people to interact around information.

Did you know that libraries today offer a variety of services along with book and magazine rentals, such as e-mail and internet research, free internet access, e-readers and e-books, interlibrary loans, reference services, children's programming, adult book club and programming, Birthday Parties, CD book rentals, music CD and movie DVD/Bluray rentals?

A newly formed not for profit organization the “Friends of Legal Library Society” recently made a presentation to Town Council in regards to establishing a public library in our community. The proposal submitted to Council states: “the creation of a Legal Library would involve a collaborative effort between the Town of Legal and the Friends of Legal Library Society.”

The Friends of Legal Library Society proposal can be viewed here .

Town of Legal Council would like to thank all the residents who participated in the Library Survey. To view the results to the survey, please click here .
