Cannabis interim by-law moving forward
Councillors in Prince Edward County are looking to have a little more control over cannabis production facilities in the municipality.
An interim control by-law for the entire municipality that prohibits the expansion or creation of cannabis production facilities was approved during a committee of the whole meeting at Highline Hall in Wellington on Thursday.
Planner James Griffin couldn’t tell councillors how many current operations are located in Prince Edward County as Health Canada does not have to give notice to the municipality when they issue a licence.
Griffin did note staff were in conversation with Health Canada with neighbouring municipalities discussing odour controls, setbacks and what municipalities can control during the meeting.
Staff will also bring forward a report that looks into the impact of cannabis production and additional regulation options within a year.
The by-law is up for final approval later this month.
