Now back to the RDOS board table in Penticton

Medical Cannabis Production facilities – board moves to allow this type of facility in industrial zones so that they do not occupy farm land for sustainable food production.
Penticton Mayor Andrew Jakubeit told the RDOS board Thursday “We can shift marijuana production to the industrial areas, which have been underused. Let’s try to get to a trend that’s growing and capitalize on it like we’ve capitalized on wine.”
The Agricultural Land Commission allows cannabis production on farmland – deeming marijuana as a crop.
A large plan is contemplated on OIB land at the Senkulmen Industrial Park. That particular facility is being built by Sunniva Inc.
