Further to the announcement on March 14th, ParcelPal and Kiaro's partnership goes live on April 15th in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The companies have completed integrations and have been actively marketing the service.

If you live in Saskatoon, here's how you can order cannabis:

Visit kiaro.com and browse through the curated collection of pre-rolls, flowers, tinctures, capsules, and accessories. Select the product you wish to buy, and choose ParcelPal as your delivery option. Receive an email with your codeword to present when accepting your delivery. Access the ParcelPal app for live tracking, so you can watch our driver deliver your goods within the hour.

President and CEO Kelly Abbott states, "We are extremely excited to go-live with our first partner in the cannabis space, Kiaro. Customers no longer have to wait for upwards of a week to safely receive their product. We are now one step closer to becoming the Uber of Cannabis in Canada. I would like to thank both the ParcelPal and Kiaro team for all the hard work completing this project for our up coming launch." Mr. Abbott Continues: "We will also be rolling out several verticals in the month of April within the city of Saskatoon. We look forward to expanding into additional cities in Saskatchewan and beyond with Kiaro."

CEO of Kiaro, Daniel Petrov, said "Enabling the delivery of cannabis products within the hour is an important milestone, as we look to legitimize the industry and normalize cannabis use. The distribution agreement with PacelPal improves product accessibility in Saskatchewan, and empowers Kiaro to enhance life enjoyment for consumers across the province. Through the accelerated delivery of strategically curated products, we hope to inspire greater cannabis curiosity, exploration and education."

Customers who order cannabis or alcohol through the ParcelPal platform will be required to upload and verify their identities. Users that are under the necessary age within their jurisdictions will not be allowed into this vertical on the application. The identity verification system ensures that the person is of age, and that the identity is in fact real. This identification is checked twice -- once before and once upon delivery. Consumers who order product will have to be the person that receives the order. ParcelPal's technology complies with all local, provincial and federal laws.
