More opportunities for GROW...in the backyard Leamington,ON

[SpenceW15]

Passed on December 8th, 2020 by the municipality of Leamington, the “Greenhouse Light Abatement Bylaw” was enacted in an effort to curb light pollution by the region’s numerous greenhouse operations. Under the bylaw, greenhouse operators must close sidewall and endwall curtains an hour before sunset until an hour after sunrise... However, the reduction of light through the greenhouse ceilings present a much more complex issue. “Growers need the ability to crack open ceiling curtains to a small degree as growing conditions dictate in order to  properly vent heat and moisture. Without this ability, you risk damaging crops.” As General Manager of the OGVG, Joseph emphasizes that he speaks only for greenhouse vegetable growers.
