ARCHIVED - THIS PROJECT HAS CONCLUDED
The Regional District recently completed a process to modernize its regulations in regard to cannabis production. A new bylaw was developed in alignment with current federal government legislation for cannabis cultivation and processing, which had evolved since the adoption of the Regional District's previous Medical Marihuana Production Facilities Bylaw in 2016.
The intent of this process was to replace the outdated 2016 bylaw with a new 2022 Cannabis Cultivation and Processing Bylaw. This new bylaw contains regulations for cannabis micro-cultivation, cannabis micro-processing and cannabis nurseries on rural residential lots and agricultural lots. It also includes updated regulations for cannabis standard cultivation and cannabis standard processing on large agricultural lots and in industrial zones in Thornhill.
This process consisted of three stages of work and was completed in June 2022. See the Project Timeline and Key Dates sections for more detail or email the Development Services department at planning@rdks.bc.ca if you have any questions.
