Residents who endured a foul-smelling composting operation in a rural valley near Victoria fear more disruption from a giant pot farm proposed for the same site. Shawn Galbraith, the founder and CEO of Evergreen Medicinal Supply, wants to build what he says will be one of the largest marijuana-growing facilities in Canada. Neighbours gather in front of Stanhope Dairy Farm in Central Saanich, where Evergreen Medicinal Supply Inc. proposes to build a medical marijuana facility. Galbraith's company, Evergreen Medicinal Supply Inc., currently operates from a concrete building on a lot near the proposed new facility. In March 2017, Evergreen Medicinal Supply Inc. received its licence from Health Canada to cultivate medical cannabis, four years after its initial application.
