Operational Highlights

  • 2018 expansion increased the number of Delta 9 grow pods approved by Health Canada to 154 from 15, increasing anticipated annual production capacity to over 4,200 Kg of dried cannabis flower.
  • Delta 9 announced its intention to become a preferred supplier of medical cannabis to Pharmasave, a national pharmacy chain with approximately 650 retail outlets.

  • Delta 9 now operates three retail stores, two in Winnipeg, Manitoba and one in Brandon, Manitoba. A fourth retail store in Thompson, Manitoba is scheduled to open in June, 2019.

“2018 was a transformation year for Delta 9 as we proved our business model of using retrofitted shipping containers (Grow Pods) to grow cannabis successfully and produced a consistent high-quality cannabis product,” said John Arbuthnot, CEO. “Our strategy of being one of Canada’s only vertically integrated cannabis companies with licences for production, processing, distribution and retail operations is paying off and now producing significant financial results. The legalization of the adult consumer recreational market in October last year is only the beginning of many new and exciting opportunities for the Company.”
