N.B. planning information session on cannabis land use
The City of North Battleford is planning a community information session on its proposed cannabis land use regulations May 9.
Council carried a first reading of the zoning bylaw pertaining to cannabis retail outlet and production locations at its meeting Monday. Mayor Ryan Bater recently said the city will conduct an extensive public education effort related to the regulations.
“It’s a process of council and administration engaging with the public, getting the view of the people who live here, and then coming up with an informed decision,” Bater said when council discussed the issue last month.
Bylaw No. 2055 is an amendment to the city’s land use Bylaw No. 1971. The bylaw will have a public hearing May 28 before it can go to second and third readings, and be passed by council.
