The Peace Naturals Project, a Clearview Township-based company that grows cannabis for medicinal purposes, has been granted a full commercial licence from Health Canada.

Company founder and president Mark A. Gobuty made the announcement during a presentation to Clearview Township council last Monday night.

Gobuty told The Sun in a follow-up interview that he is excited about the development and that he and his employees are looking forward to meeting the needs of clients.

He said the company, which operates from a secure rural property, learned it was granted a commercial licence Tuesday, Oct. 29.
