City Seeks Public Opinion on Recreational Cannabis in Mississauga The use of recreational cannabis became legal in Canada on October 17, 2018. Ontario has elected to allow for recreational cannabis to be sold online or in privately operated retail stores. The location and operation of these private stores will be under the control of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which is also responsible for regulating gaming and alcohol sales in the province. The City of Mississauga is considering whether Mississauga should opt in or out of private retail sales of cannabis. The City is also looking at locations where smoking or other use of recreational cannabis could be prohibited on City property; however the City cannot completely prohibit the smoking or vaping of cannabis. The City wants to directly hear from you on these matters. You can send your responses online through a survey or by attending a Public Information Session on November 26 at City Hall, Council Chamber from 6 to 7 p.m . The City has also conducted an independent telephone survey, using Forum Research, to gain direct input from residents across the City. Learn more about recreational cannabis, by visiting yoursay.mississauga.ca/cannabis.
