Cobourg Will Plan Cannabis Strategy

In City Hall

Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
With cannabis legalization looming, Cobourg council is looking ahead to how it might affect the town.
At Monday’s meeting, they voted to accept a technical briefing from the province called Moving Forward with Cannabis Retailing and a report from the municpal clerk regarding an update on the legalization for information purposes.
The motion included a direction to staff to implement a strategy to engage and initiate a non-statutory public-meeting and engagement process with local residents and businesses spotlighting current regulations surrounding the legalization, implementation of cannabis retail establishments and effects on the community.
With the municipal election looming, staff were instructed to report to the next municipal council on the engagement process and provide a recommendation for council decision.
