Crews are now installing the roof and first floor decking, leading up to completion of the building envelope by end of August.

"Our build team continues to make significant progress on True Leaf Campus," said Darcy Bomford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of True Leaf. "This means True Leaf is getting closer to its inspection by Health Canada and nearing the final milestone of receiving our license to produce cannabis. We're eager to develop a line of medicinal cannabis products and bring it to market."
