Help!  Formal Investigation needed into Ongoing Illegal Drug Facility in Stouffville (Preston Lake / White Rose Wetlands).

Illegal Grow Op / Drug Lab in Stouffville near Bloomington and Woodbine continues its operation despite charges. The activity appears to be growing and continues to affect nearby neighbourhoods. The ongoing illegal activity prompts serious concerns over property values and the damage to the Environmentally sensitive watersheds of the White Rose Preston Lake Complex. Please sign now to show your support.

Presently surrounding areas are affected by stop and go car traffic along with various offensive chemical & marijuana odours emanating from the facility. This is affecting the quality of life of residents, many of whom are families with young children, and this has the potential to impact the property values of real estate in these neighbourhoods by damaging their reputations as family-friendly. The illegal activity prompts serious concerns over the damage to the neighbouring Environmentally sensitive watersheds of the Whiterose Preston Lake Complex.  The facility has a history of not adhering to regulations cannabis growth, so we are asking for a complete and thorough investigation to be launched to ensure the activity taking place in the facility is lawful and in compliance. The investigation should also determine the Environmental impact to the White Rose - Preston Lake Watershed in which the facility is situated.
