Alberta-based marijuana grower to set up manufacturing plant in Kamloops

Mar 20, 2018 | 3:49 PM

KAMLOOPS — An Alberta-based medical marijuana grower has announced plans to open a manufacturing facility in Kamloops.

Sundial Growers of Olds, Alberta has signed a deal with the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, or ABLE BC, to supply BC with 20 million grams of cannabis and related products once consumer marijuana use is legalized.

In a release, CEO Torsten Kuenzlen says the company will begin by supplying BC from its Alberta facility, but shift production to a new facility in Kamloops once that becomes licensed and operational.

Kuenzlen calls the move an “important milestone for Sundial” as it prepares to enter the consumer market.

There is no word yet as to the timing of the Kamloops facility’s opening, its exact location, or the number of people who will be employed there.
