Councillors heard from Edmonton police that knives are often purchased by youth or by people using them for illegal purposes.

City administration has been directed to create a new convenience store category within the business licence bylaw.

Administration told councillors this is the only path for a municipality, as convenience stores aren’t breaking the law by stocking them.
