A community-choice brief on making complaint pathways visible for schools, parents, retailers, and municipalities.

The practical gap
A rule is easier to support when people know what to do with a problem. Communities need visible complaint pathways, especially where youth access may happen through informal sellers rather than inspected stores.
Local pathway checklist
- School staff know who to contact.
- Retail staff know how to report suspected illegal sellers.
- Parents can report without needing policy expertise.
- Municipal and provincial roles are separated clearly.
Why AGLC matters
AGLC already publishes public reporting channels for suspected illegal tobacco activity on its contraband page. Vaping enforcement should be just as easy for communities to understand.
