Flowr is pleased to announce that our wholly owned subsidiary, Cannatech Plant Systems Inc. has been granted a Producer’s Licence under the ACMPR.
Cannatech is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Producer’s Licence for medical cannabis under Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). The licence allows Cannatech to immediately begin cultivating cannabis, bringing needed supply to the current medical market and the upcoming adult-use market in Canada.
Cannatech’s licence encompasses the first phase of a purpose-built 85,000 sq ft facility in Kelowna, British Columbia. The state-of-the-art facility, engineered and built to meet ISO and GMP standards, is considered one of the most advanced cannabis cultivation facilities in the world. The company expects plant growth to begin in January 2018 and anticipates having product available to sell prior to July 2018.
Cannatech has recently acquired adjacent land to support both the rapid development of cultivation capacity and the construction of a stand-alone dedicated research and development facility. Situated in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, the cannabis campus will solidify Cannatech’s position as a global leader in the science and commercialization of cannabis and cannabis-related goods and services.
The Producer’s Licence and the completion of all phases of the Kelowna campus positions Cannatech as a significant supplier to the rapidly growing Canadian medical cannabis market and the upcoming adult-use market.
Cannatech is an industry-leading company focused on the natural science of cannabis. With offices in Toronto and Kelowna, Cannatech’s cultivation facilities operate within GMP compliance producing the highest quality cannabis flower and associated derivatives. Cannatech is focused on research and development to advance cultivation techniques, genetics and general understanding of cannabis. For more information visit www.cannatech.ca.

The Flowr Corporation (“Flowr”), an emerging Canadian cannabis leader and Hawthorne Gardening Company (“Hawthorne”), a subsidiary of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company that focuses on gardening products and systems that help people live happier, healthier lives, today announced an exclusive strategic R&D alliance. This alliance brings together two world-leading organizations to construct and operate the first purpose-built research and development facility in North America dedicated exclusively to innovations in the cannabis industry.
Located adjacent to Flowr’s flagship cultivation facility in Kelowna, British Columbia, the facility will support scientists from both organizations. Areas of R&D will include nutrient formulations, lighting and environmental systems, irrigation, growing media, and integrated cultivation systems in support of Hawthorne brands such as Botanicare, Gavita, General Hydroponics and Can-Filters. Researchers will also develop cultivars for specific growing conditions and therapeutic purposes.
“We currently work with a broad range of licensed cannabis producers, but we have an especially deep respect for Flowr’s facility construction and cultivation teams based on their unparalleled expertise and experience” said Chris Hagedorn, CEO of Hawthorne. “We look forward to collaborating with Flowr to spearhead a new era of innovation in the emerging cannabis industry.”
The new 50,000 square foot R&D facility will combine laboratories, indoor and greenhouse grow suites, training areas and genetics breeding areas in a single building. Construction will begin in second quarter 2018. The facility is expected to open in early 2019.
“Our alliance with Hawthorne gives us a unique opportunity to combine their deep expertise in cultivation products and systems with our industry-leading expertise in cannabis grow facility construction and cannabis cultivation techniques” said Tony Giorgi, CEO of Flowr. “We’re excited about the advancements this alliance will bring to us, to Hawthorne, and to the cannabis industry.”
The R&D facility will reinforce the Okanagan region’s status as a hub for advanced cannabis research and contribute to economic development in the area. New scientific and technical staff will be added to Flowr’s construction and cultivation teams already working at Flowr’s seven-acre campus located at the boundary of Kelowna and Lake Country. The facility also represents a significant investment by Hawthorne in the region, adding to Flowr’s substantial investment in cultivation facilities.

I wanted to let you know that our female medic that is leaving for Australia, had specifically mentioned how much she liked ASL. She says that Reception knew her name, her phone number and where she was living the moment she checked in. She mentioned that the laundry staff was always extremely helpful (and the ladies noticed and appreciate lingerie bags we were given); and she was happy to find that the kitchen staff was so gracious about preparing meals for people who aren’t able to eat during the normal hours. She said that when she was residing elsewhere, it didn’t matter when a medic might be flying: If they missed a meal, they missed a meal. No one went to the extra step of saving food for them.
I am writing this letter as a humble note of appreciation for the outstanding service provided by your team during my stay at the International Campus In particular the 3 reception staff went the extra mile to answer your questions and meet your requests. The catering staff both behind the scenes and on the shop floor always provided quality food and excellent service despite the large numbers and varying tastes of the international community. Please pass on my thanks to all the staff.
