As the Oct. 17 cannabis legalization date fast approaches, post-secondary institutions are updating their smoking rules on campus and in residences.

The regulations also cover edible products, storage of cannabis, and the display of cannabis paraphernalia. The south-end Halifax campus already has a no-smoking policy, which came into effect on Sept. 1, 2003. That policy extends to cannabis smoking, and bans smoking from all university buildings, residences, property and vehicles.
