RE:Read this ! To date, however, the department has only granted one outdoor cultivation licence, though Zara Munir, a consultant with Cannabis Compliance, believes that it will approve more outdoor growing spaces in time for the 2019 farming season.
“Health Canada responds well to producers that already have licences, or have their facility at a stage where they will be ready to grow as soon as they receive a licence,” Munir said.
48North meets those criteria — it already has a licence to cultivate, process and sell at DelShen Therapeutics, one of its indoor facilities, and has a licence to cultivate and process at Good House, a 46,000-square-foot facility located 10 minutes away from the outdoor farm.
Gordon also said the security protocols are ready for the farm, so all 48North needs to begin planting is the green light from Health Canada.
