The legalization of the recreational use of marijuana in Canada is fast approaching. This important change will create new challenges for employers and the board of directors as it may expose many workplaces to new safety, legal, and culture risks.

Bonny Mak, an employment and labour lawyer with Fasken Martineau, a leading international business law and litigation firm, presents this 60-minute recorded webinar in which she discusses the evolving legal context associated with marijuana, as well as shares some key considerations for leaders and the board in updating policies and drug and alcohol programs to protect both organizations and workers under the coming changes. She also shares key legal considerations leaders should be aware of in relation to the use of marijuana and the permissible use of drug and alcohol testing in Canada.
