The Government of Canada's proposed Cannabis Act raises questions and challenges for Canadian employers when it comes to managing employees' use (and abuse) of cannabis in the workplace. Employees already have easy access to cannabis for medical purposes, which can create a conflict between an employer's obligation to ensure a safe workplace and duty to accommodate. In this session, Graeme McFarlane will discuss myths and facts about the Cannabis Act, duty to accommodate, and what employers should be doing to prepare for the legalization of cannabis in July 2018.
Learning objectives:
- What employers need to know about the proposed Cannabis Act and the anticipated impact on the workplace
- An understanding of an employer's obligation to ensure its employees are unimpaired and fit for work
- How employers can ensure their employees are fit to work with the increasing use of cannabis for medical purposes
- Knowledge of what employers have to accommodate, and what they don't with the legalization and regulation of cannabis
- Practical pointers on what employers should be doing to prepare for the legalization of cannabis.

Complying with the CSA A500 from 2 Key Perspectives
The National Building Code has adopted the A500 document on Building Guards, but the BC Building Code has yet to do so. This has caused some confusion and questions regarding compliance and proper usage in the glazing world as the details have become more complex.
In this session, David Vadocz and Carlos Muller will provide their insights from the perspective of an engineer and a contractor. They will also detail what you can do to prepare for the future adoption of the CSA A500 standard in the BCBC as well as what you can do now during this current stage using examples and case studies. There will be a Q&A session following the event so be sure to bring your questions.
Speaker- David Vadocz (RDH) and Carlos Mueller (Atlas Meridian)
