Bomford continued, “We are also excited to
report that on November 22, 2019, our True Leaf Cannabis division
became a licensed producer, securing three licenses from Health
Canada for our True Leaf Campus facility located in Lumby, British
Columbia. The facility was built to meet EU GMP and HACCP standards
and will also be able to produce alternative cannabis products such
as edibles, topicals, and capsules, creating new opportunities for
the ‘Cannabis 2.0’ market in Canada and the fast-growing European
cannabis market.”
He added, “The Company is actively seeking a
joint venture partner to purchase a portion of the True Leaf Campus
asset allowing us to lock in a supply of CBD for our pet products
and secure a return on our investment.”
“To address current growing pains in the
cannabis industry, the Company has made a number of strategic
business decisions to improve cash flows and reallocate capital to
ensure the long-term growth of the Company. Cost-saving measures
have been made across both divisions; we expect to realize savings
immediately and improve upon them going forward.”
