There has been much talk and speculation over the oncoming legalization of marijuana and what its impact on our society will be. This discussion and the consultations taking place are welcomed, but we have noticed that they fail to include any mention of the serious impact on health and safety in the workplace.

The OGCA will no longer be producing this Guide as it was no longer up to date and contained a serious flaw that is not supported by OGCA. Under Section 6.1 Mandatory Material - Bank Reference the OGCA does not support the submission of any information other than a reference letter from a proponent’s financial institution. The remaining information especially where a project is Bonded is not relevant and in the case of private companies not open to public review. Bonds make such information completely unnecessary.
CCA has released the CCDC 10 document, a newer version strongly based on our original but more current with recent trends. OGCA will be making the document available to owners and members at no charge.
