The Company is pleased to provide investors with a corporate update.

"We are delighted with the significant sales we have made in our first quarter of shipping product," said Damian Kettlewell, CEO. “There has been a strong demand for Blissco products from our current four provincial distribution partners, and we expect to ship our complete product offering in our second quarter. Additionally, we have received expressed interest in our high-CBD full spectrum cannabis oil, which we anticipate fulfilling sales for in the coming months."

Blissco will begin shipping dried flower products to Alberta, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan in Q2 and cannabis oil products to provincial supply partners and approved medical patients in Q3.
