Decriminalized Drugs in Liquor Primary Establishments – Understanding your Duty of Care Webinar

As you know, BC decriminalized small amounts of certain drugs on January 31, 2023. Adults will no longer face criminal charges for the personal possession of 2.5 grams or less of opioids, crack and powder cocaine, MDMA, and meth, but does that mean they can bring these drugs into your establishment? What happens if your staff become aware of patrons consuming drugs – what should you do? 

Join ABLE BC and Lorne Folick, Partner at  Dolden Wallace Folick LLP, on March 23, 2023 at 10:00 am to learn about the risks associated with decriminalized drugs and your duty of care as a Liquor Primary establishment. Lorne will discuss various examples and scenarios that will assist with the adoption of the appropriate policies and procedures as well as employee training.

This webinar is free for ABLE BC Members! Non-members can register for $10.
