RDNO Prepares For Cannabis Applications

RDNO Directors have approved a text amendment to a zoning bylaw on cannabis sales and distribution in the electoral areas.

Board Chair Bob Fleming explains that since there are no business licences issued in the electoral areas wording was needed to prohibit sales distribution without making an application.

`This puts, a temporary I would say, prohibition into the bylaw for those things, meaning that anybody proposing such a thing would have to apply to get an exemption through a variance.“

The directors also approved a bylaw to amend the text of a Silver Star zoning bylaw to prohibit sales and distribution or the set up,of a cannabis lounge in the village.
