CFIB offers webinar, other tools on cannabis legalization for businesses

The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) has developed a series of educational and workplace tools aimed at helping employers manage the legalization of recreational cannabis.

A webinar titled “Prepare your business for legalization” is free and open to the public. CFIB partnered with Canadian law firm Fasken to develop the webinar. It includes: what legalization means for private businesses, how to talk to employees about cannabis, and importance of a drug and alcohol policy.

Other resources, free to CFIB members, include an online course on workplace impairment and a drug and alcohol policy template. For non-members, the template can be accessed by filling out an online form at www.cfib.ca/cannabis.
