A proposed cannabis production facility five kilometres south of Casa Rosa in the RM of Edenwold has been tabled for the second time, as the proponent seeks to deal with local opposition to the plan.
More than 20 people sent written submissions to RM council ahead of the Oct. 13 public hearing on the project, all opposed to the proposed cannabis cultivation facility. They opposed it on fears it could attract crime to their areas and that the business was better suited for an industrial park. They also noted concern for the area’s water table, and that their wells would be negatively impacted by a commercial well in their area during dry periods.
