PEGUIS FIRST NATIONS ANNOUNCES HISTORIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CLINIC NETWORK CANADA INC.

Winnipeg, Manitoba: September 13, 2018 – Peguis First Nation (Peguis) announced it has entered into a historical investment partnership with The Clinic Network Canada Inc. (TCN). Under the terms of the investment Peguis will have approximately 10% ownership stake in Cura-Can Health Corp., the parent company of TCN. As a result of this investment, Peguis will have, through its holdings in Cura-Can Health Corp., ownership in Pain Management Clinics throughout Canada. Currently, Pain Management Clinics are under construction in Selkirk and Winnipeg, Manitoba, which are the first in a Canada wide expansion strategy.

TCN is a market-leading clinic platform operating in five Canadian provinces, with 12 multi-disciplinary clinics. TCN has developed a “Three Pillar” approach to clinical practice and provides an integrated combination of services to patients for pain management. These Three Pillars include: (i) Pain and Arthritis Management; (ii) Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation; and (iii) Medicinal Cannabis (as the alternative to traditional narcotics). TCN will look to serve Peguis members in the two clinics and through a planned mobile unit that will give access to services for Nation members in remote locations.

Chief Glenn Hudson stated:

“As Peguis continues to diversify its investment holders, we are seeking partners open to collaborating in meaningful and tangible ways. TCN’s commitment to building meaningful relationship with First Nations is a model for how true economic reconciliation can be achieved.”

This newly formed alliance with TCN, has provided Peguis with direct input and engagement in medical and ancillary services to be provided to its members and will be the platform for access and expansion of specialist pain services to all Canadians moving forward.

TCN’s COO Kim Wei commented:

“This strategic relationship positions The Clinic Network Canada to provide access to specialized pain management services to both the Peguis members and the general population. Access to these services and innovative product offerings, are the distinguishing factors that will determine the success of these initiatives and uniquely position TCN and Peguis in the Canadian medical ecosystem. Our commitment to work with Peguis to create a model for all First Nations in Canada would see First Nations take ownership and control of their health care services and needs.”

First step in a Canada-wide expansion strategy with First Nations and Indigenous peoples in the spirit of reconciliation and today’s National Indigenous Day.

Winnipeg, MB – June 21, 2018 – Today, GrowForce Holdings Inc. and Peguis First Nation announced its joint venture to establish a partnership in a cross-Canada expansion.

The partnership will continue to evaluate opportunities in the cultivation, distribution and retail sale of Cannabis products, and will be announcing further details on both its initial activities, later this year, and plans for the future.

“This is a fitting announcement reflective of the spirit of reconciliation inherent in National Indigenous Day and demonstrates the intent of the leadership of Peguis’ to capitalize on economic opportunities in the Cannabis space,” said Chief Glenn Hudson. “The joint venture is the culmination of seven months of intense effort by a dedicated team from the Chief Peguis Investment Corporation acting on the directives of Chief and Council with the support of the Peguis First Nation membership. This initiative will result in local investment, significant job creation and long-term economic development for our people and to the Selkirk area.”

Prior to selecting Grow Force, we explored a number of potential joint venture partnerships and Grow Force clearly has the most industry experience and the clearest vision for developing a nationwide seed to sale Cannabis strategy that includes First Nations and Indigenous Peoples.

GrowForce currently owns a majority interest in flagship Cannabis facilities operated through Health Canada’s ACMPR, with the exclusive rights to MJardin’s Cannabis management services and intellectual property portfolio for use in Canada and other federally legal markets worldwide.

GrowForce also has significant project financing from Bridging Finance Inc., which is led by David Sharpe, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (Tyendinaga) First Nation. Sharpe has been instrumental in guiding GrowForce on its strategy to partner with First Nations across Canada, and sees joint ventures like this one bringing significant new economic development and employment opportunities to Indigenous peoples. Selkirk being the first location, will see the strength and shared passion behind this partnership.

“We backed GrowForce financially because of their dynamic business plan and executive experience, but we also saw the company genuinely wanted to make a positive impact in Indigenous communities across the country,” said Sharpe. “GrowForce has an experienced operating team through MJardin and an in-house training program that is second to none in the Cannabis industry. Put that together with strong partners and an eager Indigenous workforce, and you have a great combination for both production and distribution of Cannabis.”

GrowForce’s portfolio currently spans Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Peguis venture will spur the development of new facilities in or near Selkirk, Manitoba.

“We continue to move swiftly to strategically build our capacity in Canada,” said GrowForce Chairman and CEO Rishi Gautam. “Partnering with First Nations and Indigenous peoples is a great fit for our Company and overall vision. Our operating partner and executives bring the experience of more than nine consecutive years in legal Cannabis and 100,000 kg of finished product, with innovative software and training through MJardin University. GrowForce has the substantive ability to invest in new operations while hiring and training local staff.

The partnership with Peguis First Nation helps to achieve our goal of building Canada’s leading Cannabis company with our Indigenous partners.”

Peguis First Nation Community Update

Chief & Council and CPIC Led Initiatives

Chief and Council and the CPIC leadership team provided an update to community members on progress to date made by CPIC on the strategic mandate provided at the start of the year.

DOWNLOAD PRESENTATION

Frequently Asked Questions

1. WHERE WILL THE FACILITY BE BUILT, WHERE IS THE LOCATION?

You may have heard that Fuller Road will serve as the location for the Cannabis Production Facility. It will not. There are a number of locations being reviewed for the production facility in the Winnipeg and Selkirk Industrial areas.

2. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PEGUIS AND ITS MEMBERS?

First Nations are becoming more and more engaged in the Cannabis Industry nationally. The unprecedented opportunities will create hundreds of permanent jobs, both on and off-reserve, as well as an equity ownership that will bring additional economic spin-offs to Peguis. The financial benefits include new self-generated revenue to better fund critical community needs, in areas such as: Elder Care, Housing and Health and Wellness services.

3. HOW DOES CANNABIS EFFECT THE DRUG PROBLEMS WE FACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES?

A survey conducted by the Canadian Centre on Substance use and Addiction (CCSA) reported that Alcohol and Drug Abuse were the number one challenges for community wellness faced by on-reserve communities.

Data from 2011 reveals that 55% of drug overdose deaths were related to prescription medications, of which, 75% involved opiate painkillers. Researchers found that opiate-related deaths decreased by approximately 33% in 13 states in the following six years after medical marijuana was legalized.

4. IS CANNABIS ADDICTIVE?

Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, MD stated that Cannabis “is not physically addictive” and alluded to the damaging impact of alcohol, which is legal. However, any kind of substance that effects you on a physiological level has the capacity to be addictive; this includes things like caffeine, alcohol and even exercise. Furthermore, anything in excess can be harmful to the body, so it is important to note that appropriate administration is critical with anything.

5. HOW WILL CANNABIS BE ACCESSED, WHERE WILL IT BE SOLD?

It will be sold in retail outlets across Manitoba. As the Manitoba Government just recently gave the approval for conditional licensing, it is not known for sure where any of the retail locations will be located. However, the retail stores themselves will need to pass Government of Manitoba inspection for adherence to strict Health & Safety Standards.

6. WHO CAN PURCHASE CANNABIS?

The Province of Manitoba has ruled that individuals 19 years of age and older, with valid identification, will be able to purchase Cannabis. This reduces the opportunity for usage by children & youth.
