DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MJardin Group, Inc. (“MJardin” or the “Company”) (CSE:MJAR), a leader in cannabis management, is pleased to announce that the recently opened cultivation and extraction facility in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia owned by AtlantiCann Medical Inc. (“AMI”), in which MJardin has a 50% equity interest, has been granted a license by Health Canada for cannabis cultivation.

The new state-of-the-art, 48,000 square foot cultivation and extraction facility has a production capacity of 6,000 kg per year, with expansion planned for an additional 20,000 square feet by the end of 2019. AMI intends to seek GMP certification for the facility in 2019.

“Our newly granted cultivation license is an important milestone and a key operational development for AMI. We are proud of our growing footprint in Atlantic Canada with the support of MJardin. With the first harvest at our state-of-the-art facility expected to be complete in the spring of 2019, we are well positioned to provide innovative, premium cannabis products to help patients cope with their ailments,” said Christine Halef, President of AtlantiCann Medical Inc.
