NAC and participating First Nations to host signing ceremony
Friday morning
OTTAWA, Dec. 15, 2017 /CNW/ - National Access Cannabis
Corp. ("NAC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NAC), Canada's best practices leader in delivering
secure, safe, and responsible access to legal medical cannabis
today announced that the Company has entered into Limited
Partnership Agreements (the "Agreements") with three Manitoba
Indigenous First Nations. Under the terms of the Agreements, each
of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Long Plain
First Nation, and Peguis First Nation have partnered with
NAC to establish a retail recreational cannabis distribution
network in Manitoba, when legally
permissible to do so.
Through the Agreements, NAC, in partnership with each of the
three First Nations, intends to build out and operate a network of
recreational cannabis stores located on the respective First
Nation's owned land in Manitoba,
when legally permitted to do so and in response to the Manitoba
RFP. It is intended that the locations will be staffed by First
Nation's members and trained using NAC's proprietary model to
ensure safe and secure distribution of legal cannabis.
"These unique partnerships present a fantastic economic
opportunity for the participating First Nations," said Mark Goliger, Chief Executive Officer of
National Access Cannabis. "With the benefit of NAC's established
operating model, First Nation's will supply legal cannabis,
leveraging our deep knowledge of safety, security and harm
reduction through a network of First Nation owned stores in
Manitoba. This partnership not
only supports Manitoba's
Indigenous First Nations, but also the province in meeting its
obligations to provide Manitoban's access to safe and legal
cannabis. We are working towards more of these win-win partnerships
here in Manitoba and elsewhere in
other provinces."
NAC and the participating First Nations will host a signing
ceremony Friday, December 15, 2017 at
10:00 a.m. Central Time at NAC's
Winnipeg medical clinic. All
interested media parties are invited to join.
