NORTH SAANICH READY TO RECOVER GROW-OP COSTS

North Saanich is ready to recover costs when responding to properties
used to grow pot.

Costs incurred by police, fire and building inspection services will
now be recovered from the owners of properties involved in growing or
manufacturing controlled substances like marijuana or amphetamines,
thanks to a bylaw recently adopted by the District of North Saanich.

"If police, fire or building inspections services are required to
respond to properties with these activities, the bylaw will enable the
costs to be passed onto the property owner rather than the general tax
payer," said Alice Finall, mayor of North Saanich. "As a collateral
benefit, the bylaw may be an incentive for landlords to ensure that
their rental properties are not being used for growing or
manufacturing controlled substances."
