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.

Thank you,
