Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
As a follow-up to our post on the proposed Aleafia licensed cannabis production facility in Grimsby, we came across some articles from Allan Benner of The St. Catharine’s Standard. They may shatter the myths held by some that these operations don’t give off strong odours and are easily contained.
There is a last-minute meeting of the Committee of Adjustment on July 6th at 4PM at Town Hall, 160 Livingston Avenue.
This special meeting of the CoA will re-hear an application of 1834439 Ontario Inc. who have partnered with Aleafia Farms Inc. to convert the 160,000 sq ft greenhouses at 378 South Service Road into a licensed production facility for medical marijuana.
Just a quick update that tonight’s Heritage Advisory Committee meeting regarding 33 Victoria Terrace will start at 6PM at Town Hall, not 7PM due to summer hours.
While it is still the beginning of July, some are looking forward to the fall… not for the cooler weather, but because October 22 is the day “Niagara Votes”. The opportunity to bring back (or usher out) local politicians is one not to be taken lightly and of course we urge every one to exercise that democratic right.
In case you missed it, the Region recently put out a public notice that they are holding a public meeting on our current Regional Official Plan, and the new one targeted for completion in 2021. This is your chance to offer comments or ask questions of our regional officials and provide input as to what the near and not-so-near future of Niagara looks like.
The Grimsby Heritage Committee will be sitting on July 4th (6PM @ Town Hall) and like the heat outside, there will be at least one HOT agenda item, the intention to designate 33 Victoria Terrace as a heritage property. For those who might be new to Grimsby, this is in the historical “Grimsby Beach” area. Continue reading

Councillor Quirk has already filed his nomination paperwork for re-election, pending certification. Continue reading
The Region will be hosting a “Shape Niagara” event tonight (Thursday, June 21) from 5pM-7PM at the Fleming Centre, Beamsville. This will be a public information session on the development of a new strategic plan for Regional Council.
Although many people feel like Regional Council isn’t listening it’s still important to show up when these opportunities arise. Please participate if you can.

There will be a Public Information Centre on the Casablanca and Livingston Environmental Assessments (EAs) being conducted by the Region.
The PIC will be open tonight (June 20th) from 5PM to 8PM at the Casablanca Winery Inn with a presentation at 6PM.
The EA on the Livingston Avenue Extension has been a controversial topic as it will examine whether to plow through the Greenbelt and Irish Woodlot with a road that most see as unnecessary.
With temperatures finally climbing, if you feel a need to beat the heat… Town Hall is always a great place to do so during the week. And this week will offer up quite a few opportunities to do so.
