CALGARY, Oct. 24, 2019 /CNW/ - Sundial Growers Inc. (Nasdaq: SNDL) ("Sundial") is pleased to announce that it has received a licence from Health Canada to sell cannabis oil products. Sundial oil products will be packaged and shipped from its Rocky View, AB facility, and will be available to consumers in early 2020.

"This license enables Sundial to gain further traction in expanding our innovative product portfolio," says Ryan Hellard, Chief Experience Officer of Sundial. "Consumers are looking for brands that consistently provide a safe, innovative and high-quality experience, and that's what our current and future portfolio is designed to deliver."

Broadening its product offerings, Sundial's first new product innovation will be an unflavoured CBD 20:1 oil that is part of the brand's Ease product line. The new oil product, in addition to subsequent oil products from the same line, will address the rapidly emerging consumer trend of CBD usage.

Providing consumers access to a greater selection of products will allow Sundial to tap into new and existing cannabis segments. Consumers can customize their cannabis experience to meet their individual needs by choosing product formats that work best for them.

The oil sales licence, along with new formats being legalized on October 17, 2019, enables Sundial to drive development of future cannabis products. Plans to launch additional product formats including vapes, topicals and teas will be announced soon.
