We are confident that the combination of our established Golden and Chalice Farms brands will position MMG as a market leader.”
Phil Millar, President of MMG added, “We are very excited to receive this key license from Health Canada and look forward to continuing to work with the agency towards expanding the operating scale of our St. Thomas facility. We are confident in our prospects to establish MMG as a vertically integrated provider of high quality cannabis oils and edibles to the cannabis marketplace in Canada beginning in 2018, targeting both medical and adult-use segments.”
