Vanastra cannabis site is fully compliant says Knight
Huron East Chief Administrative
Officer Brad Knight has conducted
further research, concluding that
there isn’t much Huron East can do
regarding Vanastra residents’
complaints about a new marijuana
growing location.
Knight addressed the issue at
council’s May 21 meeting saying he
discovered that the location is not a
commercial growing operation, but
rather home to four individual
growing licences. Four per site, he
said, is the maximum number of
licences. The OPP, Knight said, has
indicated that sites with four
licences at one location can hold as
many as 2,000 plants.
He added that the operation
complies with all federal regulations
and, unlike minimum distance
separation for farm operations, there
is no requirement to notify the
municipality or neighbouring
properties of the site.
Knight also said that in speaking
with Jacqui Empson-Laporte from
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs the
government’s focus is on shutting
down operations making illicit sales,
rather than the impact of odour
throughout the community.
Knight said that he plans on
making contact with the owner of
the operation and communicating
the municipality’s concerns on
behalf of residents, but that there
isn’t much the municipality can do
in regards to something that is
regulated federally.
Councillor Ray Chartrand said
that while the horse is out of the barn
on the current operation, he did feel
that Huron East should work with
the Huron County Planning and
Development Department to attempt
to restrict such uses in urban areas.
Knight, however, said that if a site
complies with federal regulations
and it’s a permitted use for a
property, there isn’t much the
municipality or the county can do.
Council didn’t take any further
action on the matter.

This handsome three-bedroom family home includes space on the ground floor for two more bedrooms, as
well as a den, a future rec room with a roughed-in wet bar and a space for a three-piece bathroom. A large
patio outside the future bedroom will be shaded by the deck above.
Entry is through a covered porch into a generous foyer. The den is to the right, with a window overlooking the
front garden. A coat cupboard is located across from the stairway leading to the main living floor.
Upstairs, the great room’s bayed-out window enjoys a view to the front garden. A gas fireplace will make this
room especially attractive for family activities in the cooler months. The stair-well is railed for safety.
Open to the great room are the dining area and the kitchen. The dining area has access through sliding glass
doors to a large sundeck, with stairs down to the back garden. In addition, plans include an optional buffet,
always welcome for storage and serving.
The L-shaped kitchen configuration, together with a work island, will save steps for the cook. Natural light will
flow through the window over the double sink.
The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, includes a spacious en-suite. An oval soaker
tub and glass-in shower offer a touch of luxury. Double basins will ease the morning rush hour. The ample
walk-in closet should provide plenty of space for clothing and accessories.
The second and third bedrooms, which look out to the front garden, share a bathroom, also with convenient
double basins. A towel cupboard is tucked into a corner of one bedroom, and a linen closet into a corner of
the other bedroom.
The double garage includes a doorway to the main-floor foyer, as well as a side door. The decorative door
features three windows.
Exterior finishes include stucco and horizontal siding on the upper floor, highlighted by painted trim. The main-
floor exterior includes brick accents, as well as siding and painted trim.
This home measures 42 feet by 46 feet for a total of 1,422 square feet, not including the ground-floor area.
Ceiling height is nine feet throughout the main floor.
