Cannabis in Canada will be legal for recreational use as early as late summer 2018. Residents of Castlegar are being asked their input on future zoning and regulations related to legalization of cannabis within City limits. These regulations, along with Provincial and Federal laws, will control the future of retail outlets, public consumption and personal cultivation of cannabis. “The City is seeking a general understanding of residents views prior to developing municipal cannabis regulations this summer”, says Phil Markin, Director of Development Services at the City of Castlegar.
