Whereas in British Columbia, and specifically in the Kootenay Region, there is a historical legacy of cannabis cultivation and a clear acknowledgment that the cannabis industry is a pillar of our regional economy; And whereas Section 37 of the BC Cannabis Control Regulation prohibits the promotion of any place to consume or to spend time after consuming cannabis, which significantly limits the ability for the cannabis industry to thrive, and in many cases limits potential business owners to operate all together; Therefore be it resolved that UBCM work with the provincial government to remove Section 37 from the BC Cannabis regulation, which will remove a significant barrier to the success of the cannabis industry in British Columbia.
