“This was a transitional year for Canada House, with significant investments made in the build-out of our Abba Medic production facility, improvements in clinic operations and stabilization of our senior management team and board of directors, which collectively form the foundation to grow Canada House into a leading medical cannabinoid therapy Company,” said CEO Chris Churchill Smith.
During the year, the company increased its clinic capacity, which allows it to handle more than 1,000 patients a month. The company also secured a long-term lease on Abba’s LP production facility. Completion of the production facility should allow the company to produce more cannabis strains needed to furnish the growing demand.The Company has already secured a draw-down equity facility of up to $25 million with Alumina Partners LLC. The equity facility provides the company with much-needed financing to accelerate growth in the medical cannabis industry. Canada House Wellness will now be able to attend to the needs of more patients and be on the way to generate more revenues.
Rebranding Drive

The rebranding is part of the company’s strategic plan of focusing on the medical cannabis market with a more integrated approach.The company has already won a dispensary license from the city of Edmond, which paves the way for it to strengthen its medical cannabis empire further. The license allows the company to go ahead and launch a non-medical distribution of cannabis products in the city. The company should also be able to explore new distribution channels.

Building on CHV's in-depth understanding of the medical cannabis market, the dispensary enhances CHV's insight and knowledge of the overall cannabis industry,” said Mr. Churchill-Smith.
