 A Public Hearing will be held at the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality Municipal Office located at 5319 - 50th Avenue South, Fort Nelson, BC at 6:00 pm on Monday January 26, 2026 for the purpose of providing the public with an opportunity to address Regional Council respecting matters contained in the proposed “Zoning Amendment (5100 50th Ave N- Site-specific Storefront Cannabis Retailer) Bylaw No. 241, 2025”. 

 

An opportunity to attend or address Council in the Public Hearing will also be available virtually. For information on how to participate virtually, please contact admin@northernrockies.ca.

 

The purpose of the Zoning Amendment Bylaw is specific to a parcel located at 5100 50th Ave N, legally described as Block A District Lot 1581 Peace River District Except Plans 18361 and EPP39083 (PID 012-888-150), where the Fort Hotel complex is located. The property is zoned C-1 Commercial Core, and because cannabis retail is not a permitted use in any zone under the current Zoning Bylaw, such uses may only be considered on a case-by-case basis. The proposed amendment to the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality Zoning Bylaw No. 119, 2016 would allow a site-specific allowance, permitting the storefront cannabis retailer use.

 

Copies of the proposed bylaw and related documents can be inspected at the NRRM Municipal Office, Monday to Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm from January 12, 2026 to January 26, 2026 or on the NRRM website at www.northernrockies.ca.  

 

Any persons who believe their interest in property may be affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded the opportunity to be heard in person, by a representative or by written submission, on the matters contained within the proposed bylaws at the Public Hearing. 

 

Those unable to attend the Public Hearing may submit their comments in advance, in writing to:
