A Waterloo based company thinks Hanover is a prime location for producing medicinal pot. The proposed facility hinges on both Health Canada approval and the zoning requirements for Hanover. If both criteria are met, the project will move forward. The first requirement involves licensing approval by Health Canada, under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.
If approved by Health Canada, the proponent company would be eligible to produce and supply medical marijuana to approved patients enrolled in the federal program. Hanover CAO Mike Dunlop says the town has not taken a position on the matter. But Dunlop tells Bayshore Broadcasting News it has received legal advise on the proposal and is currently conducting a peer review of the information.
Mayor Kathi Maskell admits it is a controversial issue and she understands the stigma associated with marijuana. Maskell says their main focus right now is to review the property zoning by-law requirements for such a facility, and to see if it fits with existing commercial and industrial zoning. It will take about five weeks to establish whether or not the proposed facility has received Health Canada approval and met all of Hanover's zoning requirements. Maskell says she also welcomes feedback from the public. Medical marijuana is used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It is particularly helpful for those suffering from severe chronic pain including those with cancer, MS, Aids, glaucoma and spinal injuries.
