Dubbed Aurora Polaris, the 300,000 square-foot expansion will neighbour the newly completed large-scale Aurora Sky greenhouse near Edmonton International Airport.
 
The Edmonton-based producer said the processing facility will enhance Aurora’s capacity to develop and produce its own high-margin edible products lines. Chief Corporate Officer Cam Battley told Yahoo Finance Canada the move does not signal the company has closed the door on striking a partnership with large beverage and food companies.
 
“That actually enhances our attractiveness to partners in different verticals,” Battley said in an interview on Tuesday. “We have been, as previously indicated, in discussions with different players from different mature industries. And we will continue to have those discussions.”
Battley said Aurora has received “very sage council from the United States to be patient not to rush into partnerships.” He said the company’s rising value will yield more favourable terms down the road, and expressed desire to “potentially participate in multiple verticals.”
