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, and 500 metres of the proposed store located at 650 Division Rd., Unit 402, Windsor. A visual map is also attached.

Park and playground | Kenilworth Park | 3466 Whiteside Drive, Windsor | 500 |

In addition to the abovementioned areas of concern, the proposed cannabis retailer is also located within a residential area experiencing high 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.
