Today
we are looking at announcements from Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: LIFT), CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST) (NYSE: CTST), SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTCQB: SOLCF), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:

Aurora
Cannabis Inc. today announced that both its Aurora Sky and MedReleaf
Bradford facilities are now fully licensed by Health Canada for the production
and sale of cannabis and cannabis derivative products.
"The
rapid scale-up of our production capacity - with our Sky and Bradford
facilities specifically adding over 128,000 kg per year in capacity - is
resulting in significant increases in product availability across our domestic
medical and consumer, as well as our international market segments, over the
coming months," said Terry Booth, CEO of Aurora. "Current production
at Aurora Sky, with recent harvests exceeding target yields, validates our
production philosophy and our investment in high-tech, highly automated
facilities. MedReleaf Bradford employs best practices identified during the
integration of the Aurora and MedReleaf organizations, and is consistently
delivering exceptional yields and high-quality product that has resonated well
in both the medical and consumer markets."
Located
at the Edmonton International Airport in Alberta, Aurora Sky is the Company's
first "Sky Class" facility. Aurora Sky is designed to deliver high
quality, consistent and highly cost-efficient cannabis cultivation. At 800,000
square foot, the facility delivers massive scale, incorporates state-of-the-art
technology, and leverages a high degree of automation to deliver target
production costs of well below one dollar per gram. With the entire facility's
cultivation space now licensed by Health Canada, the Company anticipates the
facility to be fully planted in March 2019, with the full impact of product
available for sale to be realized by the end of June 2019.
Located
in Ontario, MedReleaf Bradford is a 210,000 square foot high-tech production
facility built to EU GMP specifications which features 17 independently
climate-controlled grow rooms. Designed for large scale, hang-dried,
hand-manicured production, 13 of the flower rooms are currently in production
to service the consumer and medical markets. With the facility's cultivation
space now completely licensed, Aurora anticipates the facility to be fully
planted by early April 2019, reflecting a production capacity of 28,000 kg of
high-quality cannabis per annum.
Lift
& Co. Corp. announced that its CannSell Standard mandatory
cannabis retail training program for Ontario cannabis retailers is now
available for purchase at cannsell.ca.
In
addition, the Company is pleased to announce CannSell Expert, an advanced
certification program essential for cannabis retailers looking to equip their
staff with deeper cannabis knowledge necessary for advanced customer service in
areas of product knowledge, plant genetics and consumption methods. CannSell
Expert is available for pre-order today at cansell.ca and launches officially
on March 18th for $449.99.
CannSell
Expert is available to cannabis retailers across Canada, will take
approximately 25 hours to complete and will be delivered through the same
digital platform as CannSell Standard. CannSell Expert certification holders
will be required to also have their CannSell Standard certification to legally
work in Ontario cannabis retail.
"The
overwhelming interest in CannSell highlights a clear demand from Canadians for
responsible cannabis retail sales," said Matei Olaru, CEO, Lift & Co.
"As Canada's informational authority in cannabis, we are launching
CannSell Expert in support of this sentiment and look forward to continuing to
set the standard for a modern cannabis retail experience."
CannSell
positions the Company as the leading retail educator and consequently the
leading digital trade marketing platform in the country. CannSell Standard and
CannSell Expert are the roadways to begin delivering branded content directly
from the licensed producer to the budtender; the most influential driver of
retail consumer purchases.
CannTrust
Holdings Inc. announced that its common shares will begin trading on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") today.
CannTrust's
shares will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "CTST". The
Company's common shares will continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol "TRST".
"We
are a fast-growing company that is continuously looking to increase our
international presence," said Peter Aceto, Chief Executive Officer.
"The NYSE listing is another significant milestone in the evolution of
CannTrust and we are excited to share more about our planned growth initiatives
in the near future."
SOL
Global Investments Corp. announced the formation of a new international
hemp-focused subsidiary, Heavenly Rx Ltd.
Heavenly
Rx intends to hold controlling ownership interests in various industry-leading
assets in the hemp/CBD and THC-free cannabinoid wellness space, with an initial
focus on hemp cultivation, processing and the manufacturing of a diverse range
of traditional CBD products including oils, tinctures, balms, and vape-ready
products. Additionally, Heavenly Rx intends to include several proprietary
brands across numerous consumer product group verticals such as cosmetics and
beauty products, bath and body products, infused foods (subject to governmental
approvals and/or compliance) and a number of pet-related products.
SOL
Global and its executive team were deeply involved in the political process
surrounding the recent passage of the U.S. federal Hemp Farming Act, which
removed industrial hemp and CBD products with less than 0.3% THC from Schedule
I of the U.S. federal Controlled Substances Act, and SOL Global has been
working diligently over the past six months to identify and target world-class
hemp companies and brands that it intends to invest in through Heavenly Rx.
"Heavenly
Rx directly supports SOL Global's continued hemp and CBD strategy in the U.S.
and international markets and will serve as a critical launchpad for our
hemp-related investment initiatives as hemp and related cannabinoid regulations
continue to become more liberalized around the world," said Brady Cobb,
CEO of SOL Global. "SOL Global's executive team has been at the very forefront
of regulatory reform both in the United States and internationally, and we
couldn't be more excited to continue to build upon and execute our already
robust long-term strategy for the global hemp/CBD industry."
Canopy Growth Corporation announced it
has named Hilary Black as its Chief Advocacy Officer,
effective immediately. In her expanded role, Hilary's mandate includes driving
patient advocacy efforts worldwide, executing the Company's global corporate
social responsibility strategy, and leading the implementation of best
practices for diversity & inclusion.
"My unconventional path to the
executive level speaks to Canopy Growth's respect for the trailblazers that for
many decades fought for legal cannabis access," said Hilary Black, Chief
Advocacy Officer, Canopy Growth. "For my entire adult life, I have broken
down barriers so that patients could access cannabis. Being with Canopy Growth
has exponentially amplified these efforts. I feel a tremendous sense of
responsibility and privilege to build on this legacy of compassion and carry
out a mandate that will improve the lives of patients around the world."
"As Chief Advocacy Officer, Hilary
will further advance our mission to positively impact the wellbeing of
neighbours, customers, and communities globally," commented Mark Zekulin,
President & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "Today's announcement marks a
significant step forward in our efforts to scale our corporate social
responsibility initiatives and advocacy efforts on a global level."
1933

concentrates and manufacturer of hemp-derived CBD wellness products, announced that it has engaged professional athlete
and mixed martial arts fighter, Ms. Sarah Moras, as a Canna Hemp™ sponsored
athlete for a six-month engagement,

Canna HempX™ brand.
Infused

harder, recover quickly and stay focused longer ," said Ms. Moras.
