Lakeshore Seeking Community Feedback on Greenhouse Study

Open house to be hosted August 23, Council meeting to follow in September 

Lakeshore citizens and local stakeholders are invited to provide their input and share feedback on a draft version of a study that investigates the potential impacts of large-scale greenhouse farm developments in the Municipality. 

The study, prepared by consultants at Storey Samways Planning Ltd., considers the effects of greenhouse developments through several lenses, including finance, climate change, as well as land use & community planning. It also considers approaches taken by other municipalities with such developments. 

Two open houses will be hosted on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. 

• Virtual Open House (to be hosted via Zoom) 
  2:30 to 4:00 PM 
  Registration by email to Planning@Lakeshore.ca 
• In-person Open House

Individuals who are unable to attend the open houses can also submit comments by Friday, August 26 via email or at Lakeshore Town Hall (419 Notre Dame Street, Belle River). Please note, the deadline for emailed submissions has been extended to Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 4:30 PM.

Citizens and stakeholders will have another opportunity to participate at the regular meeting of Council on September 13. Learn more about submitting comments or attending meetings as delegates online at: Lakeshore.ca/Delegations.
