Cronos Group CEO Mike Gorenstein, COO David Hsu, Clearview Township Mayor Christopher Vanderkruys, County of Simcoe Deputy Warden Terry Dowdall and Warden Gerry Marshall dig in during a ground breaking ceremony May 23 announcing a large expansion at The Peace Naturals Project medical marijuana facility near Stayner.
Medical marijuana facility expands by Trina Berlo Officials at The Peace Naturals Project invited guests to celebrate a ground-breaking Tuesday marking the construction of a new large-scale cannabis production facility near Stayner. Cronos Group, the company behind The Peace Naturals Project, is following through on its plan to create a campus style environment to focus on research and innovation in the area of medical marijuana. Local dignitaries and investors joined in a gold shovel ceremony and champagne toast to announce a 315,000 square foot expansion to the facility on Concession 12 Sunnidale. The expansion includes a state-of-the-art 286,000 square foot production facility,
a 28,000 square foot greenhouse and a 1,200 square foot extraction laboratory. Upon completion, the new facility is expected to be the largest purpose-built indoor cannabis production facility in the world. “We don’t want to be the biggest in Canada, we want to be the best in the world,” said CEO Mike Gorenstein. He said they are building a centre of excellence, not just a cannabis facility, and they are already recruiting experts in the field. Construction is expected to be complete by November of this year and should be fully operational by next summer, bringing Peace Natural’s production to an estimated 40,000 kg per year. Cronos Group acquired Peace
Naturals Project last year and has continued to expand. Gorenstein said capital investments were needed to improve the operation, which was initially described to him as a box of broken crayons, but it had great people. “We chose to come to Canada from New York because we saw something was possible here what wasn’t possible anywhere else in the world,” he said. On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, media and investors were offered tours of the facility’s two growing buildings and a third that was coming online this week. Fifty employees, most of whom are fully suited in coveralls and hairnets to reduce contaminants from the outside world, tend to the marijuana plants by (See “Campus” on page 3)
The Simcoe County District School Board trustee representing Clearview and Collingwood has resigned. On May 10, the board accepted the resignation of Annie Chandler, with regret and best wishes. “I have truly enjoyed my experience as an education trustee,” said Chandler in a statement. “I continue to be amazed by the innovative programs and supports in our schools. As I now take time with my family I plan to stay involved in an unofficial capacity and wish only the best for our teachers, administrators, students and their families. In our public education system, I encourage parents and communities to continue to advocate for what you believe is in the best interest of our students. It has been a pleasure to work with my fellow trustees and the administration at the SCDSB and I wish everyone all the best moving forward.” A replacement will be named through an appointment process. As outlined in the Education Act, applicants must meet all of the following requirements: a Canadian citizen; age 18 or over; a resident within Simcoe County; a public school elector; not legally prohibited from voting; and not disqualified by any legislation from holding school board office (e.g., an employee of any school board). Applications with full details regarding qualifications, experience and interests should be submitted to the Director’s Office c/o Deb Foster, Executive Assistant - Board by noon on Thursday, June 1. Applicants will be required to make a brief presentation to the Board before the appointment is made. Please direct inquiries to Deb Foster, 705-734-6363, ext. 11231 or at dfoster@scdsb.on.ca.

Clearview to purchase bus, proceed with transit service by Trina Berlo After a six-month trial, Clearview council has decided to purchase a 20seat bus and continue providing transit service in Stayner. “Kudos to staff,” said Deputy Mayor Barry Burton at the May 16 council discussion. “I have heard nothing but positive comments about the bus.” Tim Hendry, the township’s communication and marketing coordinator, has been managing the bus. He reported to council that the new bus will cost $93,957.56 and will be funded through provincial gas tax funds. The township piggybacked on a request-for-proposal (RFP) for buses issued by the Town of Wasaga Beach, so Clearview will not have to go through its own RFP.
During the trial period Clearview Township was renting a bus from the service provider, at a cost of $40 per day. According to the data, there has been an average of 21 rides taken each day since the service began on Nov. 25. April had the highest ridership so far, with 656 trips. Burton asked when the bus could be expanded to other areas of Clearview? Wi t h t h e C o u n t y o f S i m c o e contemplating a transit expansion, there was some discussion about how that could free up resources to expand the Clearview route, running a bus to Creemore, for instance. Councillor Doug Measures said people in Nottawa would also benefit from a bus to Blue Mountain, which is
a major employer. Councillor Robert Walker said he too has heard nothing but praise for the trial and knows of people who are benefitting from the service. He noted, one man no longer has to pay for a cab to go to work at the Real Canadian Superstore in Wasaga Beach. “There is interest in expansion but we have to crawl before we can walk,” he said. The motion passed unanimously. Council also agreed to implement a monthly ‘Smart Card’ pass system ($40 for adults and $30 for students). This year, the township budgeted $120,000 for the purchase of a bus. In addition to the $93,957.56, there will be approximately $20,000 worth of Smart Card pass technology and
3
accessibility upgrades. “To ensure that the transit bus is in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities ACT (AODA), an audio and visual system will be installed on the bus. The new system will provide pre-boarding and next stop announcements both inside and outside of the bus,” reported Hendry. “The system is a one-time fee of approximately $9,000 with an annual license fee of $700.” Council also approved a reduction of service, including reduced hours on Sundays. The bus schedule and route is available online at clearview.ca. Girardin Blue Bird was the successful bidder through the bus procurement process.
Campus style expansion plan will result in new jobs (Continued from page 1) hand, feeding, transplanting, staking and harvesting buds. The product, dried Cannabis flowers and Cannabis infused oils, is sent to the consumer directly from the facility by Canada Post. They have been testing different methodologies, including lighting. The growing areas are being updated with LED lights, which are brighter and more energy efficient. The lights are so bright that some employees wear sunglasses and the colour of the light changes
depending on the growth phase. The methodologies developed in the existing three buildings will be built upon at the new facility, which is expected to result in 100 jobs. “The new facility will serve as Cronos’ centre of excellence, providing a platform for top plant scientists, chemists and pharmacologists to advance the science of cannabis.

The way we were
Off to a great start Thank you to everyone who continues to show support for The Creemore Echo. We have had a very encouraging start to our annual subscription drive, which continues over the next few weeks. We wish to express gratitude to our advertisers, subscribers and everyone who values their independent local newspaper. We are making a plea for new subscribers. Like other newspapers, The Creemore Echo continues to lose revenue from traditional forms of advertising as the big companies transition away from print advertising. So, it is more important than ever that we build our subscription base. It may seem counterintuitive for those of you who already receive the newspaper to pay for something that comes free of charge to your mailbox each week. The truth is we are facing rising costs from Canada Post and subscriptions help cover the cost of distributing the newspapers to mailboxes. The Creemore Echo is an important part of life in this community and we want to make special mention of the people who keep our doors open. Here are this week’s champions, boosters and new subscribers. And, a special thank you to everyone who are longtime subscribers. We couldn’t survive without you. Trina and Sara will be at the Creemore Farmersʼ Market this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to take subscriptions. Please pop by our booth and say hello.

Local is the Accountability the true fabric of prosperity healthy option LETTERS
Editor: I was trying to find something worthy of watching on television tonight (unsuccessfully), when I happened upon TVO’s Agenda. They were discussing the shrinking middle class and its effects on Toronto. My first reaction, as always with TVO, is why is everything about Toronto? However, my second reaction was, why are we focussing on the results and not about the causes? I always say to my children that everything is a balance. It’s a bit Newtonian – “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, but it’s also just common sense. Look around our beautiful area and how nature works. It is all about balance. When a government chooses to tax most of what its citizens earn (Ontario’s top rate is 53.3 per cent) and spend those funds on social programs, they are creating a balance where the middle class has no chance of surviving. Immediately, I am sure that most of your readers are now boxing me into some sort of ultra-conservative Trump penalty box, but I hope that they keep an open mind. Have a look at the Statscan records. They will tell you that the top one per cent of Canadians (i.e. 350,000) pay
25 per cent of the taxes. Those records will also tell you that 17,500,000 Canadians pay no taxes at all. If you look between the lines, what you will see is that no one is starving and the ultra-rich, that everyone loves to bash, are benefactors of much of the government largess. How can the middle class really compete with that and really who is complaining? It seems to me to be a pretty cozy arrangement. But where does that leave individual initiative? Where does that leave the small family farm (yes, without government sponsored farm quotas)? Where does that leave the next generation that doesn’t want to fall into a pit at the top of Duntroon, or deal with some subsonic medical issues at Dundalk or Shelburne? The “Balance”, as I see it, looks a bit grim. I don’t want the people in my community to simply live off of government handouts. I also don’t want the people in my community to be victimized by backroom industrial deals. I guess the first step is to shout out. Without voices, it is much tougher to speak up. Second, we need to really exercise what it is to be tolerant. Most of what I see today is windowdressing political correctness. The high schools are a perfect

example. Bully pulpiting, while turning an eye to real discipline reflective of true consequences. If we are really open to debate and getting to the right answer, we need to throw away this political correctness, starting with the Kellie Leitch signs (oops, back into the penalty box). I really do want to see us prosper as a community of individual free thinkers and doers. But if we are going to be realistic about that, we need to fight for our right to individual action and against group think. We need to cultivate those ties that truly support family, whether that be by blood or by circumstance. I want to be able to count on my neighbours here in Clearview (which I have done so many times) and I also want to be held accountable. That is the true fabric of prosperity. I hope we find our way to that prosperity, despite the outside pressures and debate over rich and poor. Materialism is truly a basis for failure. Greg McNally, Duntroon.

Editor: Your recent Home and Garden edition has stimulated local conversation about the use of insecticides and pesticides on food production in the USA. Those watching TV saw Donald Trump signing an Executive Order removing existing regulations covering the preventive use of chemicals on US farms. A leading chemical manufacturer was standing next to the president and took the used pen after signing. Most of the time we do not always know exactly what we are consuming, Our bodies may be poison tolerant up to a certain threshold, but for safety’s sake my family now refuses to purchase “Produce of USA” from the supermarket. The locally grown fresh vegetables at Saturday Morning Market are looking even healthier now. Ray Jackson, Mulmur.

Creemore photographer gifts portraits in DR by Trina Berlo Creemore photographer Bryan Davies has returned from a recent trip a changed man. As a member of the Rotary Club of Wasaga Beach, Davies took part in a recent mission to the Dominican Republic as part of a Haitian Humanitarian Assistance and Relief Team (HHART) mission. Nine missions have been organized by Rotarian Steve Wallace to help the many people, mostly Haitians, living in poverty in the Dominican Republic. The mission work includes medical and dental treatment, improvements to housing, food programs, providing school supplies, water system upgrades, road work, and employment mentoring. From May 2-9, HHART also installed 68 solar lights in homes without electricity and set up a women’s centre. Davies spent time documenting the trip and as a special project, he and a team of five volunteers coordinated family portraits for 60 families and individuals living in the batey of Cangrejo. The bateys are home to multigenerational sugar cane field workers and their families, who oftentimes are born to parents who are not recognized as citizens by the government, and therefore have no documents or access to social services. They worked at one time in poor conditions for little pay, but with the collapse of the sugar industry in the Dominican Republic, many are left without any work and no rights.
“Today, third generation Haitians, speaking Spanish and some speaking Creole live in less than ideal conditions,” said Davies. “Some families of up to 14 people live in a 20-by-20 foot dwelling with a tin roof and recycled wood exterior.” “I felt good about making use of my photography skills as a tool for social change. We selected an old church with open sides, and invited villagers to come and get their family photographed,” he said. People showed up in their finest clothes and it was a challenge to control the flow of people anxious to sit for their portraits. They stayed up late printing eightby-ten portraits on a printer donated by Staples Collingwood, set up in the hotel room. The next day two villagers were assigned to make simple wooden frames to fit the photographs and a team of volunteers put the photos in the frames. “When a few of us delivered the pictures to families, the villagers were overcome with emotion since most folks had never before seen themselves in a picture. Now through HHART the people of Congrejo have a legacy to leave future generations,” said Davies. “This mission was an emotional testament for me how we can use our skills and talents to greatly benefit those who have not. I came back to Canada a changed person.”

A toast to 100 years Kay Newell, a longtime resident of Creemore,
celebrated her 100th birthday on May 16. Kay is now living at St. Joseph’s Health Care Centre in Guelph in long term care. She was born May 16, 1917 at Lavender and lived in Creemore most of her adult life. Although certainly smaller than her 90th birthday party, which was a dance at the legion hall in Creemore with over 300 in attendance, at her 100th birthday party she enjoyed sipping her wine and visiting with the 30-40 friends and family who were able to drop in. As she said in her speech thanking everyone for coming to celebrate with her, “If I couldn’t quite place everyone when you came today, I will do better at my next birthday party”.
