Lift & Co. Corp. (the "Company" or “Lift & Co.”) (TSXV:
LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF) today revealed a sneak peek at the shortlisted
Canadian Cannabis Awards (CCAs) nominees in six key categories
which represent the spirit and ingenuity of the first year of
legalization in Canada: Entrepreneur of the Year, Womxn in
Weed—Trailblazer, Top Budtender, Top Master Grower, Top Retail
Store—Single Location, and Startup of the Year. Winners in a total
of 32 categories will be announced at the CCAs black-tie gala on
November 8, 2019 at the Fairmont Royal York hotel in downtown
Toronto.
The CCAs are the country’s preeminent cannabis awards and
represent excellence in the industry, while providing winners with
an essential point of differentiation in the upcoming year. This
year’s awards are particularly notable as they mark the first full
year of legalization. With the CCAs taking place on November 8th,
the Canadian cannabis industry establishes a firm position within a
broader fall awards season.
“The industry marked the first full year of legal recreational
sales on October 17, 2019 and we are all looking ahead to a
significant second year in Canadian cannabis,” said Matei Olaru,
CEO, Lift & Co. “To be shortlisted in these categories is a
major accomplishment. Our congratulations go out to these leaders
who have shaped the last year, and who are poised to set the
standards for excellence in cannabis in Canada and around the
globe.”
The 2019 CCAs cover a total of 32 judged and consumer choice
categories:
Judged Categories: Nominees in categories for
people, organizations, retail, cultivation, and
accessories—including these announced six categories—were collected
via nomination submission to CanadianCannabisAwards.com between
August 23 and September 20, 2019. The shortlisted nominees are the
top entries and the final winners are currently being deliberated
by industry and subject matter expert judging panels.
Consumers’ Choice: The top cannabis
products—dried flower, oil, capsules, sprays and pre-rolls—are
determined by Canadian consumers. Votes are submitted via consumer
cannabis reviews and uploaded receipts to Lift.co. and winners are
determined by an algorithm that weighs the volume of submitted
reviews and receipts against the overall product rating. With
thousands of votes through reviews and receipts already submitted
to-date, competition is fierce and consumers still have until
October 25, 2019 to make their voice heard for the products they’ve
tried and loved this year.
Lift.co is a trusted authority for cannabis product information
and consumer reviews across the Canadian cannabis industry. CCAs
entries via review and purchase receipts validate voters as
consumers of the products they choose, ensuring objectivity and
fairness in voting, while recognizing the consumer voice to elevate
the brands that consumers are most passionate about.
