Medical marijuana draft bylaws reviewed
The Regional District Board reviewed three draft bylaws and rural land use bylaws to allow Medical Marijuana as a permitted use within the General Industrial (M 2) zone. This text amendment to the M 2 zone would carry forward as an allowed use in the Heavy Industrial zone. These bylaws will be back on the agenda next month for further consideration. The CRD will also request that a Minister’s Bylaw Standard be developed for medical marijuana operations in the ALR. Health Canada’s Marijuana Medical Access Program (MMSP) which was introduced in 2001, allowed authorized persons to grow marijuana for their own medical purposes in their home. There are currently over 30,000 authorized persons under this program. This program and the authorizations are to expire on March 31, 2014.
Community Works Funding Approved Community Works Funding was approved by the Board for three projects including digital control (DDC) energy management systems

The cost for each project is estimated at $32,000 for each DDC energy management system upgrade and $8,000 for the lighting upgrade. Both DDC projects will also have added safety benefits for the facilities by increasing automated monitoring capabilities, which will activate alarms in case of a system failure.
