Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.

Caution should be used when editing official government documents, which you are basically doing here. Context is important. You may want to seek permission from ODB to edit the information in the manner you are stating. The PAAB has received complaints from provinces about some marketing activities that included editing information or forms. If no drugs are mentioned, and the province has no objection, the item would not require PAAB review. It is better to hand out the entire published document, unedited.
