Title
Rhyan Thomas’ Discussion Paper - Commercial Medical Cannabis Cultivation in the ALR
Recommended Action
Whereas the residents of the Township of Langley continue to express great concern regarding the production of cannabis in greenhouses on the Agricultural Land Reserve;
Whereas the use of greenhouses in the production of cannabis results in an odour that the surrounding residents find extremely unpleasant; and
Whereas Council has received a Discussion Paper from Township resident, Rhyan Thomas, highlighting many of the issues associated with the greenhouse production of cannabis in the Agriculture Land Reserve.
Therefore be it resolved that Council direct staff to:
1. Forward Rhyan Thomas’ Discussion Paper to the Agricultural Land Commission for their review and information.
2. Include with the Paper a request that the Agricultural Land Commission conduct a review of the growing of cannabis on the Agricultural Land Reserve prior to the issuance of any additional cultivation licences in the Reserve.
