Legalization of Cannabis & WHCA

On Wednesday October 17, 2018, Canada legalizes use of recreational marijuana.

The West Hillhurst Community Association (WHCA) wants to remind our community members and users of the facility that the law prohibits the use of the marijuana in public spaces and properties.

WHCA restricts the use of the substance when on the property or in the building. Please respect these guidelines as we want to be sure the public has the safest and warmest experience while at the West Hillhurst Community Association.

For the security and safety of all patrons and minors that use the facility on a daily basis, we ask everyone to respect these policies.

For more information about the new law, how it may affect you or additional information, check out the Government of Canada website here.
