Dated at Lucknow, Ontario, this 24th day of August, 1988. B. M. Whitcroft Clerk and Returning Officer Village of Lucknow r A multi-million dollar industry Ontario is producing tons of illegal crops The following article, submitted by Cst. Cam Croal of the Owen Sound detaclunent of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, ad- dresses the issue of domestically grown cannabis marijuana in Grey and Bruce Counties. There seems little doubt that marijuana cultivation in Canada is a multi-million dollar a year industry. Traditionally, this marijuana cultivation has primarily been a British Columbia problem, as the mild climate and rugged terrain are ideal for outdoor cultivation. But recently, Ontario, with its fine agricultural conditions, has also been pro- ducing a significant amount of high- quality marijuana. One area that is in- creasing in popularity with commercial marijuana cultivators is that of Grey and Bruce Counties. This has become evident in recent years as several significant seizures have been made by local law enforcement agencies. 1. In August of 1986 in Howick Township, 15 acres (corn/marijuana) with an estimated street value of $2 million. 2. In August of 1986 in the Lucknow area, 300 plants with an estimated street value of $90,000.00. 3. In September of 1987 in Bentinck Township, 1.2 hectares with an estimated street value of $300,000.00. Although a number of substantial seizures have been made, intelligence has indicated that many other crops go undetected by law enforcement personnel. This is evident in the increase in cannabis marijuana being sold in Grey and Bruce Counties followingthe fall harvest of the drug. In an effort to diminish the cultivation and subsequent trafficking of marijuana in the Grey and Bruce area, the Owen Sound detachment of the RCMP has embarked on a "public awareness" program to boost the detection and eradication of marijuana. With respect to the program, it is felt that the citizens of the Grey and Bruce area can provide vital assistance. Follow- ing is an overview of marijuana cultiva- tion and a guide to specific things that should be watched for: - the growing season for the marijuana plant is June to September, with harvest during the first week of September, - in this time, the plant generally attains a height of four to six feet, - at maturity, the plant has a stock similar to that of corn and always bears an odd - numbered leaf configuration (five, seven or nine leaves), - on some species of the plant, a distinctive bud will be noted at the end of the stems, - at the height of the summer, the plant can be distinguished because it is a "brighter green" than the surrounding foliage, - the plant requires three to four gallons of water every two days and produces best on sloped and with a southern exposure and maximum sunlight, - the serious cultivator will spend a con- siderable amount of time pruning and grooming the crop in addition to fertilizing, - other crops maintenance may include slug bait and chicken wire to ward off in- sects, rodents, and deer, - the plants may be planted in rows, or ran- domly planted in an effort to avoid detection, - after the crop is harvested, a period of one to two weeks is required to ensure pro- per drying of the plant prior to sale, - the plant is usually hung inverted'in a dry area such as an old barn, shed, attic, or basement. . At this time, a specific request is being made to members of the community living in the Grey and Bruce County area, for assistance in the detection of locally cultivated and harvested marijuana. Those able to provide any information, or who may suspect illegal activity are asked to contact the Owen Sound detach- ment of the R.C.M.P. at the following numbers: (519) 376-4358 8:00 am -4:00 pm, 1-800-387-0020 after hours. When making a report of any known or suspected sighting, the following informa- tion is of great assistance for the purpose of followup investigation: lot and conces- sion number, whenever possible; descrip- tion of person(s) and/or vehicles seen in the area (licence number, color, etc.) The caller is not required to identify himself or herself, and all information is strictly confidential. wanted — teens for international program Canada World Youth is now recruiting participants between the ages of 17 and 20 for exchange programmes with develop- ing countries such as Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. If you are working, studying or looking for a job and are interested in par- ticipating in a challenging international development programme, now is the time to apply.
