Calgary to permit cannabis tents at festivals
The City of Calgary will allow festivals to set up tents for cannabis use once legalization comes in. Each tent must be reviewed and approved by city administration to minimize odor impact. Coun. Colley Urquhart backs tighter rules. Coun. Woolley calls it a problematic solution, noting festival cannabis use has occurred without incident. The folk festival expects about 2500 in tent infrastructure costs with no sales or sponsorship recoupment.
