A resolution is being prepared for presentation to council to support a request from the Township of Asphodel-Norwood for a governing body in cannabis production that:
· Takes a unified approach to land-use planning restrictions;
· Enforces the regulations under the Cannabis Act on behalf of the licensing agency, and ensures local authorities are in fact provided with notification of any licence issuance, amendment, suspension, reinstatement or revocation within their region;
· Communicates more readily with local governments; and
· Provides local governments with more support.
The Township of Asphodel-Norwood sent this request to the local Federal and Provincial Members of Parliament, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and all municipalities across Ontario.
Council will consider this resolution at its Nov. 3 meeting.
