<strong>Young</strong> v. <strong>Saanich</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong>, et al Page 11<br />

Ms. Webster. Mr. <strong>Young</strong> produced his exemption letter from<br />

Health Canada. They discussed the possibility of sealing the<br />

petitioners' door as well as the doors of other tenants.<br />

[19] The following day, the Beechwood Park caretaker,<br />

Mr. Weeks, attended at the petitioners' apartment to install<br />

weather stripping around their door. The petitioners sent the<br />

caretaker away, telling him that they would not permit him to<br />

<strong>2003</strong> <strong>BCSC</strong> <strong>926</strong> (<strong>CanLII</strong>)<br />

install the weather stripping around their door until he first<br />

installed it around the door of the tenant who had been<br />

complaining about the odour. The caretaker did subsequently<br />

install either a door sweep or weather stripping on the door<br />

of one tenant, Ms. Belson.<br />

[20] Following the visit of the caretaker, the petitioners<br />

sent a letter to Ms. Joy of the CRHC, asking her to take<br />

action with regard to the "disturbing behaviour of [their]<br />

neighbours." Mr. <strong>Young</strong> also posted a note on the outside of<br />

the door to his suite advising fellow tenants of his medical<br />

condition and his exemption from Health Canada.<br />

[21] On October 20, 2001, an anonymous typed letter was placed<br />

under the doors of the Beechwood Park suites, with the<br />

exception of the petitioners' suite. The letter referred to<br />

the "disgusting odor of marijuana that permeates through the<br />

first floor and in most cases into our suites themselves."
