Medical Clinic Operator and Opaskwayak Cree
Nation launch bid to participate in Manitoba's Recreational Cannabis Industry
OTTAWA,
Nov. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - National Access
Cannabis Corp. ("NAC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NAC),
Canada's best practices leader in
delivering secure, safe, and responsible access to legal medical
cannabis, today announced that it intends to file a response to the
government of Manitoba's recent
request for proposals ("RFP") on the legal trade of marijuana. The
Company believes its centralized security management and internal
controls, history of successfully operating an extensive nationwide
network of medical marijuana clinics, and strong working
relationship with the Opaskwayak Cree Nation of Manitoba will be contributing factors in the
proposal NAC will file in advance of the December 22, 2017 deadline.
"We have developed a strong history of effectively delivering
secure, safe, and responsible access to legal medical cannabis for
thousands of Canadian patients and our business model can be
effectively replicated for use in the recreational space as well,"
said Mark Goliger, Chief Executive
Officer of National Access Cannabis. "Our partnership with the
Opaskwayak Cree Nation and the support they provide will allow us
to quickly and effectively establish the locations required to
support Manitoba. As experienced
operators, with responsible management through our centralized
security, tight internal controls and highly-trained clinicians, we
are well positioned to exceed the province's
requirements."
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the Manitoba First Nations
community to build out and operate these legal retail dispensaries
on both urban and First Nation's sites throughout the province,"
said Chief Christian Sinclair of the
Opaskwayak Cree Nation. "The shift of this industry from the
black market and into the hands of our community has the potential
to lift our members out of poverty and impower them through stable,
secure employment. With the backing of National Access Cannabis'
clinical operating model, we can safely supply the appropriate
infrastructure and support that Manitoba will need for July 1, 2018."
