A large-scale cannabis greenhouse in East Ladner has gone through a name change.
AgraFlora Organics International Inc. currently has a partnership with the Houweling Nurseries complex on 64th Street, a venture that had been called Propagation Services Canada.
The venture will see the eventual conversion of the entire 2.2-million-square-foot greenhouse facility, which is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, to grow cannabis.
It had formerly been a vegetable growing operation.
Propagation Services Canada is now under the new name Boundary Bay Cannabis “to more accurately depict the picturesque setting in which its cannabis plants are grown within the area of Delta, British Columbia.”
AgraFlora Organics has also changed its name and is now called Agra Ventures Ltd.
The company also notes it’s “at a point of forging a new path for itself in the world of cannabis curation and creation. Agra Ventures’ technologies and practices are industry-leading and aid it in pioneering new growing techniques at the Delta greenhouse.”
Meanwhile, another East Delta cannabis greenhouse operation has hit another milestone.
Growing organically certified product at its 125,000-square-foot facility on 104th Street, Rubicon Organics Inc. announced that it has been granted a research license by Health Canada.
The research license allows the company to distribute and administer its cannabis for research purposes and to test and review its products based on taste, sight, smell and touch.
