Foundation work complete; steel structure at the North Okanagan site of True Leaf Campus is now taking
shape
Vernon, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 7, 2018) - True Leaf Medicine International Ltd. ("True
Leaf") (CSE: MJ) (FSE: TLA) (OTCQB: TRLFF), a plant-focused
wellness brand for people and their pets, is pleased to report the construction
of its cannabis cultivation facility, True Leaf
Campus, being built in Lumby, British Columbia, is on
schedule for completion in fall 2018.
The first phase of the project includes a 16,000 square foot cannabis cultivation and production facility with over 9,000 square
feet for the initial grow area, laboratory services, whole-plant extraction, and the production of therapeutic cannabis products.
The facilities, known as True Leaf Campus, will be a hub for the development of the company's medicinal cannabis products.
The steel arrived and was pre-assembled on site, and the building permit was approved on May 30, 2018. With the crew now
erecting the structural steel, the exterior foundation insulation is complete and the backfill compaction testing performed —
passing well above requirements. The interior backfill for the administration building is complete. Crews have also installed the
rebar for the production building and are now completing formwork.
True Leaf has retained Colliers Project Leaders to provide professional project management services and a value engineering
review to keep the project on time and on budget.
"This is an exceptionally well-managed project," said Darcy Bomford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of True Leaf. "Our
design-build firm, SBL Contractors Ltd., and Colliers Project Leaders have kept construction moving forward within budget and on
schedule. This means True Leaf is getting closer to its inspection by Health Canada and nearing the final milestone of receiving
our license to produce cannabis."
The project is expected to employ approximately 150 workers during construction and create 35 full and part-time jobs at the
start of operations. True Leaf seeks to become a major employer in Lumby, a hard-hit logging community of 1,700 in the northeast
corner of the Okanagan Valley.
The facility is being built on a 40-acre site owned by True Leaf, so the company is well-positioned to expand to meet future
market demands.
