Over 100 police officers converged on a former Molson brewery site today, exposing what they say is the largest marijuana grow operation in Ontario history. Ten people were arrested and officers hunted for others possibly hiding in the massive three-storey building.
Thousands and thousands of marijuana plants, being cultivated with sophisticated watering and chemical grow devices, are believed to be on the site — an 11,250-square-metre building located in an industrial area. The police have never seen a grow operation of this magnitude.

Yep, Barrie’s a shoo-in for the annual “City in Bloom” contest now.
Chestemere Lake (outside of Calgary) should also be considered. We’ve had a number of home grow-op’s busted in the past year.
