Invitation: Public Feedback Sessions on Minors on Non-Retail Cannabis Premises Rulemaking (Sept. 16 and 19)

As part of Liquor and Cannabis Board’s (LCB) ongoing rulemaking related to petitions accepted in 2022 to allow minors on non-retail cannabis premises based on an expired COVID allowance, the agency is hosting two online stakeholder sessions to discuss conceptual rule frameworks to be used as the basis for rule changes as part of the rulemaking process.

The two sessions are the same and cover the conceptual rule framework for two scenarios:

•  Minors who are children or grandchildren of licensees
•  Minors who are employees of contractors working on a cannabis premises

These topics will be discussed separately during the first and second hour each session as shown below.

During the meeting please keep the following in mind:

• Both sessions will be recorded and are subject to public disclosure. The purpose of the recordings is to make sure we collect all feedback.  
• While the Teams chat feature will be ON, any written questions or comments submitted in chat will be saved in the rulemaking file and are subject to public disclosure.
• Questions and comments in the session Team chats will not be responded to in real time but will be addressed at the end of the session.
• Participants will be muted and will only be unmuted when the session's leader turns on their microphone.
• To ask questions during the sessions, participants must use the raise hand function and they will then be unmuted to ask their question.
• If you would like to submit questions before, during or after the session(s), feel free to email the rules team at [email protected].
