Description

The Alberta Cannabis Framework outlines what Albertans can expect when cannabis becomes legal in the province by July 2018. The Framework was created for and by Albertans, and is founded on four policy priorities: keeping cannabis out of the hands of children; protecting public health; promoting safety on roads, in workplaces and in public spaces; and limiting the illegal market for cannabis. The Framework paints a picture of what legalization in Alberta may look like after proposed federal legislation becomes law. This document will guide government as it considers all aspects of legalization, with a sharp focus on public safety and protecting the health of all Albertans.

Traffic Court is part of the Provincial Court of Alberta. It deals with offences (commonly referred to as provincial offences) under provincial statutes such as the Traffic Safety Act and Regulations under this Act, municipal by-laws and a few federal statutes. Traffic Court does not deal with charges under most federal statutes, including the Criminal Code. Trials in Traffic Court are generally heard by a sitting justice of the peace (usually referred to as a Traffic Commissioner). However, Provincial Court judges hear trials at some locations in the province. A Provincial Court judge should be addressed in court as Your Honour, and a Traffic Commissioner, as Your Worship.
