SpeakEasy Cannabis Club has started growing cannabis on its 290-acre property in Rock Creek after receiving Health Canada licensing.
The licence allows for cultivation, process and medical sales, SpeakEasy announced in a news release Tuesday.
With the receipt of the licences, SpeakEasy has immediately begun cultivation of cannabis in its 10,000-square-foot, purpose-built, state of the art facility, the company stated.
It has also acquired an extensive library of unique genetics that will be used as starting material for the cultivation of cannabis at the facility.

A 60-acre orchard converted into an outdoor cultivation site has also been completed and stands ready to receive the genetics for the 2020 growing season, if a licence amendment for outdoor growing is granted.
SpeakEasy predicts the site will be able to produce about 70,000 kg of cannabis flower, and up to 150,000 kg if outdoor cultivation is approved.
“Receiving our licence at long last, is a dream come true for all of us in the SpeakEasy family,” Marc Geen, founder of SpeakEasy, said in a news release.
“When it comes to producing phenomenal craft cannabis, farms will always be superior to factories and culture will always speak louder than corporations. Real people recognize authenticity and SpeakEasy intends to lead by example, sharing the story of our people through the excellence of our product.”
