Cannan Growers Inc - North Saanich

Grow op proposed

A grower of medical marijuana has given notice to the District of North Saanich that it wants to set up a grow operation on McTavish Road and a recent council vote would allow it.

Those plans added a twist to council’s recent debate over whether to allow medical marijuana production sites in their community. Cannan Growers Inc. wrote on Jan. 16 to the District, fire department and local RCMP indicating their intent to seek a licence to produce medical marijuana. In the letter, Cannan spokesperson Roberto Bresciani stated they intend to make formal application to Health Canada “on or around Feb. 7.”

Mayor Alice Finall asked during the Jan. 27 committee of the whole session if the application would put it outside of any prohibition on medical marijuana production in North Saanich.

Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan replied that a formal business licence application might have to come in for that to be the case. Director of Planning and Community Services Mark Brodrick added “the clock doesn’t start ticking until we have a full application.”

Councillor Craig Mearns asked if the District can prohibit medical marijuana production within its borders. Buchan said the federal government has stated it will honour the wishes of local governments on this matter.

The application arrived at municipal hall right before council’s scheduled debate over whether to prohibit such operations in the municipality. In December, council overturned their plan to implement a temporary prohibition.

They then asked for feedback on that plan from their Agricultural and Environmental advisory commissions as well as the Peninsula Agricultural Commission. Only the latter has not yet submitted their recommendations to council.

The AAC recommended council follow through with its temporary ban, followed six months later by a review and possible public consultation on the issue. Alternately, they stated if council allows medical marijuana production, it should be kept off of agricultural land and moved into industrial or commercial areas.

The EAC only asked that environmental impacts from any such operation be evaluated.

Finall said council overturned its planned prohibition in December in consideration of agricultural producers who might wish to pursue the option of growing marijuana for medical purposes. After two residents addressed council and asked that they impose a ban, citing safety and questionable agricultural value to the community, Finall asked council to support their original plan to temporarily prohibit medical marijuana.

That motion received the support of Coun. Elsie McMurphy, stating once the District allows it, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to go back.

“I think it’s a knee-jerk reaction if we support this motion,” countered Coun. Ted Daly.

He said he didn’t want to be in a position of telling agricultural land owners what to do, when growing marijuana for medical purposed is legal. Daly added that comparing this sort of operation to illegal grow ops is “a tangent.”

Council voted not to implement a prohibition, a decision that was to be ratified at their Feb. 3 regular meeting (result not available prior to PNR press time Monday).

Agreed. I think most of them are just placeholders until they actually get up and running.

Plus, the less they spend on webdev the less we spend on their product.

Newfoundland, Ontario have highest percentage of welfare recipients
BY BILL KAUFMANN FEBRUARY 13, 2014 07:11 PM

CALGARY ─ While Alberta's welfare rolls sit last in Canada, Ontario's have become the country's second-highest, say University of Calgary researchers.

The number of welfare recipients in the country have declined since the mid 1990s but they've remained higher in Ontario, at 7.6% of its population in 2012.

In Alberta, 3.2% of those aged 0-64 received social assistance that year, another sign that the economic axis of the country has moved away from Ontario, said Ron Kneebone of the U of C's School of Public Policy.

"The worst year for Alberta was in 1993 and that's where Ontario is now," said Kneebone.

"It's a sea-change in the pattern of strength in this country, it's moving west."

Even the Maritime provinces, stereotyped as dependent on the dole, have lower recipient levels than Ontario, states the report titled The Rise and Fall of Social Assistance Use in Canada, 1969-2012.

Only Newfoundland, which sits at an 8.9% welfare rate, was higher than Ontario but that level has fallen dramatically with the increase in East Coast oilpatch jobs, said the economist.

Quebec, with a similar economy and demographics to Ontario, has shed more of its welfare roll that Ontario.

Kneebone said a major factor in the falling welfare rates ─ which in Alberta was just above 8% in 1993 ─ was Ottawa's halting payments to the provinces for social assistance programs.

"A lot of analysts thought it caused the provinces to be more stringent as a cost-saving measure," he said.

Another was determined by qualifications to receive payments, said Kneebone, which vary somewhat across the country.

That seems to be a greater determinant than the generosity of the benefits, he added.

"Ontario's not very different in that regard ─ far more important are the regulations getting in and out of assistance," said Kneebone.

And his study didn't determine how many poor people in Alberta or other provinces have fallen through the cracks, beyond the statistics.

"We're not defining the number of people who might be in need ─ it doesn't mean we've solved poverty," said Kneebone.

But the study's welfare numbers do seem to be tied to the level of employment, said Kneebone, which has shifted in favour of provinces like Alberta.

"Seventy-seven percent of the population is employed in Alberta while in Ontario, it's 70%," said Kneebone.

"It hasn't changed much in Ontario, but it has gone up in every other province."

In 1969, about 4% of Ontarians were on welfare ─ 1% less than in Alberta, states the study.

Kneebone said it's obvious a stumbling manufacturing sector in Ontario, contrasted to a robust resource industry in Alberta play a role.

But so do economic policies, he added, though those are difficult to quantify.

Far fewer families with children in Canada are receiving welfare, though the numbers of singles and the disabled on it have grown, said Kneebone.
