The Glencoe Club & Cannabis Legalization
Derwin Parker Health & Safety Manager 403-287-4122 dparker@glencoe.org
Like the rest of the country, the Glencoe has considered what impacts the legalization of cannabis will have on the operations of the Club. We’ve recently developed a Drug and Alcohol Policy to address our increasing responsibilities in managing the workplace. W ithout a structured policy, members and employees would not have information to ensure clarity (in terms of rules and expectations) and understanding in making decisions regarding cannabis use. That, ultimately, would lead to difficulties. Instead, we’ve developed a policy.
First off, I’d like to achieve some consensus on the language. For the purpose of this article, I’ll present two considerations:
1) Medical marijuana (Medical Cannabis) refers to the use of cannabis or marijuana, including constituents of cannabis, THC and other cannabinoids, as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy. 2) Cannabis refers to recreational use of the same products outside of a medical recommendation.
The use of the word “marijuana” appears to be waning as controversy exists as to what marijuana actually refers to. Historically, it was something of a slang term referring to the Mexican immigrants who used the cannabis plant as an intoxicant. As there is Canadian law around the phrase “medical marijuana,” I will retain the phrase to identify
68 glencoe.org the medical uses for the product as being separate from alternate uses.
I further wish to identify that a difference exists between employees/contractors and members/guests of the Club.
So, what does it all mean?
Medical marijuana We’ve been dealing with this topic for a few years and have built up some comfort around it. We appreciate there are many delivery systems and types of medical marijuana including some that do not contain THC (the impairing component of cannabis) and we default to the following position: • The Club as a shared experience: We would request that any person using medical marijuana be considerate of the larger community at the Club. Smoking medicinal marijuana, as an example, would be requested to be inline with City of Calgary Smoking and Public Consumption of Cannabis by-laws where applicable. Smell and inappropriate usage will be addressed on an individual basis.
Recreational use of cannabis I don’t want to appear flippant and say there will be no impact on the Club operations from the legalization of cannabis. That would be too easy. Yes, we’ll have concerns around impairment, smell and inappropriate use.

Effectively, this will align with our current policies around alcohol and illicit drug use. If an individual is perceived to be impaired, we have a duty of care to ensure the safety of that individual and others. If we perceive a person to be impaired and intending to operate a vehicle, for example, we have options up to and including contacting the police.
The most common question I’ve received: “Will it be ok to have cannabis with me while I’m at the Club?” The answer is difficult. Would it be legal? Sure. Would it be appropriate considering the setting? No. It would not be appropriate to walk the halls of the Club with a bottle of liquor visible, so we’ll follow the same line of thought with cannabis.
An employee situation involving suspected impairment would be captured under “Fitness for Duty” and the short-term safety of the employee would be the priority. Follow-up would be managed according to the severity of the perceived impairment, the employment history, the nature of the job position, concerns around addictions and so on.
The Club is not intending to initiate a requirement for pre-employment testing or “drug screening” as a part of the hiring process or the ongoing employment relationship.
Looking into the future, the organization will be aware of societal trends and membership desires. Will we pour cannabis-infused beers in the Pub? Serve up hash brownies in Café 29? Should you get ready for cannabis-themed events? Stay tuned! A

Glencoe Golf A bright and beautiful extension of the Glencoe family. V ery few facilities exist like ours and I couldn’t be prouder to work here! Event planning has always been in my blood. From the ripe age of 10, I was working with my mother and the special events committee at her small platform tennis club in Niagara, serving buffets and helping to decorate. That passion has always been with me. Events and marketing almost ALWAYS go hand in hand so it has been my delight to create a roster of family-friendly events at the Club that all members may enjoy!
We’ll have our 4th Annual Drive-in at The Driving Range on September 21. This family-friendly event is on the Short Game Area of the Practice Facility. We blow up a big inflatable movie screen, line up golf cart seating and charge you the same price as a Cineplex Odeon movie ticket! We’ll have food trucks, games and of course, lots of popcorn! We welcome all Glencoe members to join us for this event. Just email me at nsawatsky@glencoe.org and we’ll get you registered!
It is my great hope that we’ll have an opportunity to welcome you to the Glencoe Golf family this year! Many membership opportunities are available and I would love to discuss them with you! If you’re interested in a tour of the Club or would like to play a round of golf, just give me a call and I’d love to take you out! A

Expect to be back in town for 3:30 pm. This trail begins after crossing a bridge over Boom Creek. We’ll then climb through a forest of pine, fir and spruce trees with some switchbacks. Our final approach will be to Boom Lake that is almost 1,900 m above sea level. This fall we hope to see some trees turning for the winter months!

Étienne Papineau is our 2018 Glencoe Invitational Champion!
by Dale Goehring, Invitational Chairman C ongrats to the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu Quebec native and member of the West Virginia University Mountaineers Golf Team, Étienne Papineau! In his fourth time at this event, Étienne was one over par after 54 holes of Stroke Play in difficult weather conditions and was the only golfer to post two red numbers punctuated by a birdie on #18 after driving into the fairway bunker.
Thanks to our Turfcare team for the course conditions. The players were once again very complimentary about our Forest course.
Jared Nicholls from Ponoka, Alberta came in second place at +5, followed by a 14-year old teen sensation, Jeevan Sihota, who was leading part-way through the final round and finished at +6. Our very own Glencoe member, Brendan MacDougall, came in at +9 for the event in seventh place. A
