CA (NB): Medical marijuana producer gets nearly $1 million in funding

The only licensed producer of medical marijuana in Atlantic Canada, OrganiGram based in Moncton, is about to get a lot of green from the provincial government.

Wednesday, Premier Brian Gallant announced New Brunswick is investing up to $990,000 in the company.

Gallant said the funding will be in the form of wage subsidies that will be paid out over the next three years as the new positions are created.

The jobs created — such as production workers — will have a starting wage of about $16 an hour and up, according to OrganiGram’s CEO Denis Arsenault.
