Dear ABLE BC members and industry colleagues,
In a recent ABLE BC cannabis membership survey, over 90% of participants indicated they would like to learn more about provincial efforts to address illicit cannabis operations. So we've invited the Community Safety Unit (CSU) to speak to our members about their work and how licensed retailers can help contribute to their efforts.
The CSU, under the Policing and Security Branch of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, is responsible for compliance and enforcement under the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act (CCLA), with a focus on the illegal sale and production of cannabis.
CSU investigators carry out compliance and enforcement activities against illicit cannabis retailers and producers across the province.
The CSU operates investigations through a variety of reactive and proactive strategies, including complaints received from the public, government agencies, police, and legal market operators.
Meghan Oberg, Deputy Director of the CSU will join us on Tuesday, April 23rd at 2:00pm for a webinar and Q&A session.
If you have questions about the CSU you'd like Megan to address, please send these to Bo Chen, Head of Cannabis Memberships, at bo@ablebc.ca.
