As the July 1st deadline for the legalization of marijuana rapidly approaches, council in Prince Edward County is taking steps to update their smoking by-law.
On Thursday afternoon at their committee of the whole meeting, Prince Edward County councillors voted to approve a new smoking by-law.
It prohibits the use of cannabis, or non-tobacco substances which includes vaping and any/all electronic cigarettes/smoking devices within 25 metres of municipal playgrounds, park facilities, playing fields, and certain public places where smoking and tobacco use is prohibited within nine metres of municipal recreation facilities.
The by-law is up for final approval at the June 12 meeting.
