“We’re proud to have Flowr brand cannabis available to consumers in Manitoba and to be working with Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries.  Making Flowr’s products available in Manitoba will help meet the significant demand retailers have experienced while giving consumers there a premium, non-irradiated option” said Tom Flow, Flowr’s Co-CEO.

Currently, four (4) strains of Flowr’s premium cannabis are available in 3.5 and seven (7) gram jars in Manitoba.  The Company previously announced supply agreements with provincial authorities in British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario, sales through a private dispensary in Saskatchewan, and a medical cannabis supply agreement with Shoppers Drug Mart.
