Will cannabis production facilities emit a bad ‘skunky’ smell?

Section A2.12.9 of the Town’s Land Use Bylaw 2007/24/D requires an air filtration system to remove odours as an extra protection to ensure against this adverse impact to adjacent/surrounding properties (see below). The air filtration system is also a requirement of the Health Canada Cannabis Production Licence.

2.12.8: the use shall not emit nuisances including, but not limited to odour, noise or light, which may have an impact to adjacent sites or the surrounding area;

2.12.9: In addition to Section 2.12.8 above, a Cannabis Production and Distribution Facility must include an air filtration system to remove odours as an extra protection to ensure the use does not create odour impact to adjacent properties.
