  • Tobacco and cannabis products 
  • Prohibited drugs 
  • Illegal firearms 
  • Alcohol - unless otherwise approved by the Director of Recreation, Parks and Culture specific to a special event 
  • Gambling/sports gambling unless otherwise approved. For example, a 50/50 fundraiser for local non-profit groups would be permitted, but live sports betting would not be permitted.
