"Dr. David Chartrand is successful in both public and private sector management. He has a strong belief in traditional values of family and community and served his people as six term President of the Manitoba Métis Federation, making him the organizations longest serving President. He has built his staff from 7 in 1996 to over 750 today, establishing and delivering programs and services for the advancement of the Métis people. On the national stage, President Chartrand is actively engaged in the fight for Métis rights and in pursuing the goal of a strong relationship with the federal government. His business track record and his support for Indigenous economic development is aligned with the Green Mountain mandate, and we are pleased he has come onto the board," said Wade Attwood, President, Co-Founder and fellow Director of Green Mountain.

Dr. Chartrand responded, "Looking across Canada, Green Mountain has brought in expertise from business, science, medicine, Indigenous, environmental and engineering perspectives. Wade said to me he was going to build and invest in something he wants to be the best, and I believe he has achieved it. We want to produce the best product we possibly can, sustainably, with respect to the planet and to benefit all our partners and shareholders, including sharing value with the Penticton Indian Band directly."

Dr. Chartrand went on to say, "On behalf of Green Mountain, we express our appreciation to the Penticton Indian Band for their support for this prime location. By sharing revenue with the Penticton Band, Green Mountain will be an economic growth engine for Penticton and the municipality. There is real cohesion between the Métis Nation in Manitoba. It is a wise investment in Green Mountain, as Pimicikamak Okimawin in Manitoba have already made, to benefit our communities too, a win-win."

Friday morning, Dr. David Chartrand was part of the team that broke ground on Green Mountain's 200,000 square foot facility, on a company-owned 16 acre lot near Kaleden, BC.

Green Mountain's initial test facility is scheduled to be complete by the Fall, ready for the first test harvest before the end of 2018.
