  Municipalities and Canadian Law: Defining the Authority of Local Governments

  Reconciling Sovereignties: Aboriginal Nations and Canada

  With the legalization of recreational uses of cannabis Canadian local governments will need to regulate some cannabis-related activities. Thanks to statutory enhancements of the powers of municipalities and greater judicial respect for municipal authority

  local governments generally have flexible powers that are broad enough to allow them to regulate the location and other aspects of cannabis-related activities

  including consumption in public places and licensing cannabis-related businesses. Local governments can also ban some or all cannabis-related activity

  either by taking advantage of local option clauses included in some provincial and territorial legislation

  or by grounding bans on purely local powers. Local bans of activities such as home cultivation

  cannabis lounges or retail sales will be valid if they are narrow in scope

  enacted for a municipal purpose

  and do not frustrate the purpose of the Cannabis Act. Broader local bans will face greater challenges

  and would need to be geographically limited to minimize the impact on national objectives. They would also need to be grounded in a municipal purpose such as health and safety or protecting a unique cultural or religious community character.
