B.C. MLA calls for provincewide ban on drug use in parks, playgrounds
An MLA is calling for a provincewide ban on drug use in municipal parks and playgrounds, as several B.C. communities have started looking into their own bylaws.
He called for a ban during Tuesday’s Question Period and pushed again for the ban Wednesday during a news conference.Milobar claimed the confusion is around the municipal affairs ministry telling local governments they can pass their bylaws because they know best, but the addictions ministry is saying if it’s a health bylaw it needs their approval and oversight.
Milobar said BC United supports decriminalization, but added the federal exemption letter calls for guardrails, which the ban would be the “most basic” guardrail. “If you are in a playground setting … I don’t think it is unreasonable that a mother taking her eight-year-old to go play on swings and slides should be able to have a little bit of a reprieve from the daily chaos that we are seeing on our streets and let the child just play in an area as safe as possible.
