Proudly located in Ville d’Anjou, a borough of the island of Montreal, Great White North Growers (GWNG) is a privately held producer of premium pharmaceutical grade medical and recreational cannabis. GWNG is where craftsmanship and science meet. Our skilled team of legacy growers will be cultivating premium cannabis with a state-of-the-art vertical aeroponic growing system. Phase one will comprise 54,000 square feet with a production capacity of 17,000 kilograms of cannabis. Great White North Growers will create 150 jobs and will embrace an organizational culture of operational excellence, environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and entrepreneurial attitude. Our diverse group of corporate Quebecers plan to give back to their community.
Research and development are at the center of GWNG's growth priorities. Indeed, our aeroponic manufacturing process developed in Quebec stands out for its operational excellence and allows us to implement innovative and unique techniques in the industry.
In addition, in order to provide consumers with the highest quality products on the market, we are constantly improving all of our cannabis products. To achieve this, we use a high-performance vertical growing system with state-of-the-art air conditioning and lighting. The leading-edge technologies and advances in lighting, HVAC, and growing systems means constant testing in equipment, growing methods, nutrients and processing techniques.
Aeroponic growing systems provide clean, efficient, and rapid food production. Crops can be planted and harvested in the system year-round without interruption, and without contamination from soil, pesticides, and residues. Since the growing environment is clean and sanitary, it greatly reduces the chances of spreading plant disease and infection commonly found in soil and other growing methods.
In addition to being pioneers through our approach to the innovative production of cannabis products, we ensure that our activities have a positive impact on the growth of Quebec’s society, job creation and a long-term return for investors in the cannabis industry.
Our group of diverse Quebec entrepreneurs wish to be involved in the Montreal community.
By localizing our entire production in Montreal, we employ an experienced and skilled workforce. With having access to the most competitive water and electricity prices in Canada, we can create the highest quality of cannabis products at the lowest costs in the country.
