TORONTO, June 12, 2019 /CNW/ - 48North Cannabis Corp.
("48North" or the "Company") (TSXV:NRTH) announced today that it
has shipped its first order of cannabis to the Société québécoise
du cannabis (SQDC) for retail sale. The shipment marks the
Company's first foray into the Canadian recreational retail
market.
In February, the Company announced that it had signed
Canada's first-ever letter of
intent for outdoor- grown cannabis with the SQDC, Quebec's sole legal retailer of recreational
cannabis. Under the agreement, 48North agreed to supply 1,200
kilograms of cannabis to the SQDC from its outdoor farm in Brant
County, Ont., and 120 kilograms of indoor-grown cannabis from its
facilities in Brantford, Ont., and
Kirkland Lake, Ont. Today's
shipment pertains to the 120 kilograms from its indoor
facilities.
"48North is looking forward to sharing our high-quality cannabis
with Quebec consumers. Today's
shipment marks a major milestone for the organization. As we look
ahead, the Company is well-prepared to deliver on all of its supply
agreements, including ones it has signed with provincial
distributors, and looks forward to sharing its products with
consumers across Canada," said
Alison Gordon, co-CEO of
48North.
By the end of the year, 48North products will be available for
retail sale in Ontario,
Alberta and Quebec. 48North has committed approximately
5,000 kilograms of cannabis from its three facilities to provincial
distributors in 2019.
