Public hearing Monday on retail cannabis sales

Apr 14, 2018 | 1:33 PM

Red Deer residents are encouraged to attend a public hearing this Monday to discuss regulations around the retail sale of cannabis.

The public hearing begins at 6 p.m.

It comes after council approved first reading of the proposed land use bylaw amendment on March 5.

Since then, residents have been participating in an online survey on cannabis regulations. The City says 1,474 people responded to the survey with results available in the council agenda package posted to The City’s website on last week.

On Monday, council will consider where cannabis retail stores are located as well as the minimum distance between recreational cannabis retails stores and liquor stores, schools, daycares, health and recreation facilities. The current proposal is for 300 metres setbacks.
