Medical marijuana operation slated for Meadowbrook Business person wants support from the RDEK for a medical marijuana operation under new federal regulations SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
A business person from the Lower Mainland is planning to establish a medical marijuana operation in Meadowbrook. On Friday, November 1, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK)
board of directors voted to begin amendments to the Kimberley Rural Zoning Bylaw to regulate medical marijuana. Board Chair Rob Gay said that a business person approached the board to find out where the RDEK would stand on a medical marijuana operation within its boundaries. The federal government has approved new regulations for medical marijuana operations, which will come into effect on April 1, 2014. After April, medical marijuana producers will need to seek local government zoning for the operation.
