Goodwill approach guiding city adult magazine rules in Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat retailers largely accept the city’s goodwill approach to regulating sale and display of adult magazines. Licence inspector Zane Weber says 25 of 60 stores have been visited, with three visits planned per outlet to review compliance and display changes. Some Mac stores face pressure from district managers, while most outlets keep magazines behind counters or clearly managed. The approach aims to avoid immediate bylaw enforcement and clarify new adult media definitions under a recent bylaw.
