LUMBY, B.C. — True Leaf Medicine International has completed the central hub of its new facility in Lumby.

“The completed phase includes a two-storey, 18,000 square foot central hub for the initial grow area, laboratory services, whole-plant extraction, and the production of therapeutic cannabis products for pets and their owners,” says Darcy Bomford, CEO and founder of the cannabis wellness products company.

Bomford says the facility was designed to be scalable in more ways than simply adding grow space.

“In order to conserve capital expenditures while fully leveraging 40 acres of rare industrial zoned land, its modular design, phased approach, and flexible engineering of the central administration area allow True Leaf to expand easily for future phases and respond to the ever-changing cannabis market and regulations.”

Bomford says they are still working through the Health Canada approval process to cultivate and produce cannabis, with that approval expected later this year.

“With the completion of this initial phase of True Leaf Campus, we are closer than ever to becoming a licensed producer of cannabis. Receiving our license and having our own cultivation facility to grow medicinal cannabis and support the research and development of legal medicinal cannabidiol (CBD) products for pets will take our company to the next level. We will be the first cannabis-for-pets company with this advantage.”
