That cannabis-related businesses be no less than 500 metres from any alcohol, tobacco, or other cannabis-related business.

The following is a summary of the sensitive land use or areas of concern, located within 150 metres, 250 metres, or 500 metres of the proposed store at 4050 Walker Road, Unit 300, Windsor. A visual map is also attached. Please note the presence of Shop 420 (Tobacco and E-Cigarette retailer) in the same plaza as the proposed location. It is unclear whether this proposed store will be replacing the existing retailer or if the two will exist in the same plaza.

Sensitive Land Use or Area of Concern Name Address Distance from Retailer (metres)
Tobacco & E-cigarettes PETRO CANADA 2295 Division Rd, Windsor, N8W 1Z7 150
Tobacco & E-cigarettes SHOP 420 4050 Walker South Rd, Windsor, N8W 3T5 150
Childcare centre or school THE TOY BOX 3966 Walker Road, Windsor, N8W 3T3 500

In addition to the abovementioned areas of concern, the proposed cannabis retailer is also located within a residential area experiencing moderate levels of social inequity using a validated measure of inequity.

Should the City of Windsor wish to provide feedback regarding this application to the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission, the WECHU is able to provide additional consultation and support.

If you have any questions, would like to discuss these recommendations, or if you are interested in enhancing your current policy statement, I would be happy to arrange a meeting by phone or in person at your earliest convenience.

Thank you,
