BEAR SEASON spring has sprung and bears are awake, so Port Moody is working on a bear management plan: story on page 7
As B.C.’s Solicitor-General, Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, rolled out new cannabis rules yesterday (Thursday) to prepare for the upcoming federal legalization of pot, Tri-City municipal staff say they’re also readying for the sale and production of recreational weed in their communities. Monday, Coquitlam council will hear from the public on its proposal to continue to ban certain non-medical cannabisrelated uses until the federal and provincial laws are in place, likely late summer. Andrew Merrill, Coquitlam’s manager of community planning, said there’s still too much uncertainty at the senior government levels and, until there’s more resolution, the city wants an interim prohibition. It also wants to consult with residents and businesses before private and public shops set up, he said. see COQUITLAM, page 10
