Medical marijuana plants. (BlackburnNews.com file photo by Ricardo Veneza)A cannabis-growing operation got the green light from Wellington North council Monday.
One of the proponents, John Livingston of LIV360 of Georgetown, told council the operation is applying to be licensed for medical marijuana until recreational marijuana is approved.
He said the operation will be located in an existing building adjacent to the North Wellington Landfill Site at Riverstown, located between Mount Forest and Arthur.
Livingston predicted 25 jobs from the operation.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
The annual Canada Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, from Wildwood Park to Kenwick Park.
The $7.6 million project, which also involved water and sewer infrastructure improvements, began in 2024.
The Toronto Blue Jays dropped their third in a row Thursday, 6-5 to the visiting Texas Rangers, and the Detroit Tigers suffered a 2-1 loss to Houston.
The week-long celebration starts on Saturday and continues to next Friday.
Environment Canada said Thursday night that severe thunderstorms were moving further east after rain and high winds affected portions of the region.
