MJardin Group Receives Its First Cannabis Sales License from Health Canada
December 27, 2018
Sales License to Accelerate Cannabis Sales and Deliver Supply to
Canadian Market
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MJardin Group, Inc. (“MJardin” or the “Company”)
(CSE:MJAR), a leader in cannabis management, today announced that its
WILL cultivation facility in Brampton, Ontario has received its first
license to sell cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Canada), which went
into effect on October 17, 2018.
The license allows MJardin to supply and sell finished cannabis products
to provincial governments throughout Canada and through Canada’s
distribution and retail supply chain. The 32,800 square foot facility
has a current production capacity of 3,000 kg per year and MJardin has
plans to expand WILL’s existing facility and increase total production
capacity to over 5,000 kg per year.
“Our first sales license in Canada is a key development for MJardin and
a testament to the experience of our team and our ability to efficiently
execute our business strategy in the markets we enter,” said Rishi
Gautam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MJardin. “The Canadian
cannabis market is facing severe supply shortages due to strong consumer
demand throughout the country. This license will accelerate MJardin’s
sales in Canada and allow us to deliver significant supply to the market
to meet growing demand for high quality medicinal and adult-use cannabis
products.”
Earlier this month, MJardin announced that its cultivation and
extraction facility in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia owned by AtlantiCann
Medical Inc., in which MJardin has a 50% equity interest, was granted a
license by Health Canada for cannabis cultivation. The new
state-of-the-art, 48,000 square foot cultivation and extraction facility
has a production capacity of 6,000 kg per year, with expansion planned
for an additional 20,000 square feet by the end of 2019.
