Medicine Hat, Alta., to be home to new cannabis operation
EDMONTON — Aurora Cannabis Inc. says it is acquiring about 29 hectares of land in Medicine Hat, Alta., to build a new high-tech cannabis facility.
The company says a memorandum of understanding with the city includes a prospective 10-year, 42 megawatt energy supply agreement.
Aurora says the new facility, to be named “Aurora Sun,” will be the size of 21 football fields and 50 per cent larger than its “Aurora Sky” operation at Edmonton International Airport.
The first planting in Medicine Hat is expected in the first half of 2019, with completion slated for the second half of the year.
