Specialized rules apply to many different highly regulated products, such as alcohol, cannabis, CBD, tobacco and vaping products. These rules and regulations can restrict the contests, prizing, sponsorship and other types of advertising or promotional activity that is legally permitted in Canada involving such products. If your contest involves a highly regulated product, we strongly recommend that your legal counsel pays particular attention to these issues. Gowling can provide legal counsel, subject to its standard legal fees and client intake requirements.
