Farnworth made the announcement at the Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Vancouver.

He said it will include municipal governments, First Nations, the public and affected groups.

As well, the Province has invited the Union of B.C. Municipalities to establish a standing committee on cannabis legalization so local governments can share their experience, knowledge and concerns as B.C.’s regulatory framework develops.

Farnworth says there may not be a one size fits all approach for distribution.

The minister says it will also be critical to work with the federal government to ensure a legal supply of marijuana is available.

“We want to hear from as many people as possible about how we can best protect our kids, keep our roads safe, and lock criminals out of the non-medical cannabis industry,” said Farnworth. “It’s critical that we work together to ensure the legalization of non-medical cannabis results in safer, healthier communities.”

He says this isn’t about bringing on a new revenue stream for the province.

Farnworth says the government wants to ensure the implementation of marijuana sales is done right.
