| Vancouver, B.C., January 29, 2018 – HERITAGE CANNABIS HOLDINGS CORPORATION (CSE: CANN) (“Heritage” or Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of Phase 2 construction, and a creation of a three-person Advisory Board.
Heritage’s 75% owned subsidiary, PhyeinMed Inc. (“PhyeinMed”) a Health Canada late stage applicant under the ACMPR (Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations), has begun its Phase 2 build out of a new 41,400 sq ft facility at their Falkland, BC location. This new build is 3,400 sq ft larger than originally planned, and is in addition to their existing 15,500 sq ft facility, which is scheduled for completion in mid-February. It is expected that the construction of Phase 2 will be done by late Spring 2018, with cannabis production beginning June 2018. Upon completion, the production capacity of Phase 1 and 2 will be in excess of 4,000 kg of cannabis flower.
Jagdip Bal, CEO of Heritage commented “Our Falkland project is progressing according to plan, and we have our sights set on completing both the Phase 1 build and evidence package for Health Canada on-time. Additionally, we would like to applaud the new regulations by Health Canada allowing for reduced specification on security requirements, and in anticipation of the proposed regulations for adult use cannabis, adjustments were made regarding our security requirements with huge savings by not committing to a vault but instead a secured storage area has been built.”
The Company would also like to announce the creation of a newly formed Advisory Board. Joining this new board are Michele Cadario, Bob Simmonds, and Debra Senger.
Ms. Cadario is the former Deputy Chief of Staff for both Premier Christy Clark in British Columbia, and the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada.
