What you need to know about cannabis at Lakeland

Lakeland's Tobacco and Cannabis Policy | ||||||
If it’s legal in Canada, why isn’t it allowed at Lakeland? | ||||||
Each province, municipality and landowner can regulate where cannabis may be used in specific areas.
Lakeland College is a community space used by people of all ages. In the spirit of harm reduction and the prevention of incidental contact with cannabis products among non-users, Lakeland chose to prohibit the possession or use of non-medicinal cannabis products on its property.
|
||||||
Can Lakeland ban cannabis in residence? | ||||||
Yes. As the owner of the residences, Lakeland has the authority under Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act to prohibit cannabis in its buildings. | ||||||
Is medically prescribed cannabis permitted? | ||||||
Yes. Lakeland will seek to accommodate persons who disclose the need to use medically prescribed cannabis products.
![]() Accommodations will be coordinated through Health Services. See our cannabis policy (page 3) for further details. |
||||||
I’m concerned about my cannabis consumption. Who can I contact? | ||||||
You can contact health services or speak with one of our counsellors or wellness advisor.
