Cannabis consumption unlikely to be allowed at Red Deer College
Students at Red Deer College will likely have zero or limited options for consuming cannabis on campus when it becomes legal October 17.
Last week, The City of Red Deer implemented a city-wide ban on public consumption, which applies to the college.
Inspections and Licensing Manager Erin Stuart says, “Within residences, the bylaw allows for consumption, however it would be at the discretion of the college and what they want to permit.”
Residences fall under the definition of ‘private living accommodation’ in The City’s amended Smoke Free Bylaw. Under The City’s ban, consumption is only allowed in private residences, though landlords and property owners can prohibit it as well.
