Medicinal marijuana facility coming to Battlefords
North Battleford’s Industrial Park will soon be looking a whole lot greener now that a local company has plans to venture into the marijuana business.
Envirosafe Chemicals Canada Inc., located on Thatcher Avenue, wants to expand their current business to begin growing marijuana by next year. The plan is to sell to distributors for medicinal-use nationally and eventually internationally.
The firm received zoning approval to expand its operations to develop the marijuana production site, at city council’s meeting Monday.
“It’s exciting we got the approval to go forward,” said Envirosafe president and CEO James Davey. “It’s a process — Health Canada has to be involved. We have to make applications to them before it goes anywhere.”
