Thomas Mulcair makes first Richmond appearance After 2011’s Orange Wave, Opposition leader admits ‘big wave’ needed to carry party here
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair made his first appearance in Richmond at a public event Tuesday, visiting Kwantlen Polytechnic University in what was a rare local visit for any official Opposition leader.
Mulcair spoke with Kwantlen administrators and students at the Lansdowne Road campus, and joined university president Alan Davis in a public conversation forming the first installment of the President’s Dialogue Series. See Page 3
Staff Reporter Richmond’s first rezoning application for a medical marijuana grow-op is now in front of civic politicians at city hall. City council effectively banned the facilities in December, but left the door open to hear applicants on a case-by-base basis. The first, MediJean, made its pitch at council’s planning committee meeting late Tuesday. The company, also known as 1348 Productions Inc., wants to rezone its industrial park building at 11320 Horseshoe Way to allow its 24,126-square-foot operation. The company already operates a medical marijuana research facility—the only one to set up in Richmond before council also banned them in December—and is now seeking to expand into production. Staff have ready amendments to the city’s zoning bylaw and Official Community Plan if council decides to allow the pot plant. “As this is a new land use in the city and its potential impacts are not fully known, a cautious approach is recommended in the proposed Official Community Plan policies by allowing only one medical marijuana production facility and not permitting any additional facilities city-wide,” said Terry Crowe, city manager of policy planning, in a report. Health Canada is overhauling regulations that allow Canadians access to the drug for medical purposes. The new program will cease to allow production of medical pot in homes previously licensed by Health Canada. Instead, approved users will buy it from licensed commercial producers. City staff know of at least four potential operators who have applied for Health Canada licences to grow medical pot in Richmond. See Page 3
Pot production proposal •Growing: 5,497 square feet •Research and development: 1,840 square feet •Processing and storage: 4,257 square feet •Shipping: 2,546 square feet •Office: 3,204 square feet
