A proposed change in the city’s zoning by-law Tuesday night, has moved forward for Winnipeggers upset with medical cannabis growers in the city.
City Coun. Ross Eadie, submitted a report to change a zoning by-law for medical cannabis growers at Tuesday’s Lord Selkirk Community Committee meeting.
The report comes after a group of Winnipeg residents complained over their neighbour’s cannabis grow-op.
Residents say the residential operation leaves an unpleasant smell in their neighbourhood and could begin attracting crime.

The motion was moved forward at the meeting and now goes to the standing committee, whose in charge of the city’s zoning by-laws before a decision is made.
