Our Company
“Harnessing the natural sunlight and valley breezes not only saves us lighting and ventilation costs, it also helps us grow healthier and more robust plants”
– Joel Dumaresq, Director
A leading Canadian outdoor cannabis cultivator and processor
Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. is a licensed producer of cannabis under the Cannabis Act. It has secured a standard cultivation licence and corresponding processing/sales amendment from Health Canada (March 2020 and August 2020, respectively) as well as a research and development licence (early 2020).
CLC’s facility consists of a 32-acre property, which includes over 950,000 square feet of outdoor grow space, offices, propagation and drying rooms, research facilities, and a facility dedicated to processing and extraction.
CLC cultivates cannabis using strains specifically developed for outdoor cultivation and in its inaugural harvest year produced 32,500 kg (71,650 lb) from its existing facility before developing an adjacent 99-acre expansion property, which will bring its annual cultivation footprint to over 4.35 million square feet or over 88,000 kg (194,007 lb) of low-cost, high-quality, sun-grown cannabis.
There’s no place like it
Christina Lake operates 32 acres of licensed cultivation space and also fully owns 99 acres of expansion space ideally located near the US border between two intersecting valleys in lower interior British Columbia.
Premium flower at a fraction of the cultivation cost.
Relative to the current indoor and greenhouse production companies, outdoor cultivation has a much lower capital and operating cost structure. Outdoor cultivation is less energy and labour intensive and results in a more natural product.
What makes our location naturally exception?
LOWER ELEVATION
At 500m above sea level, our valley is one of the lowest in the Kootenay Boundary region and as such, it lends itself to an extended growing season that typically spans up to 8 months of the year.
CONSISTENT BREEZES
We receive a consistent breeze from the southern-facing valley that aids in the structural development of our plants as well as their respiration cycles and pest control.
LOW PRECIPITATION
With a low average rainfall of 500mm, 54% of which takes place over the winter, our outdoor crops are less susceptible to water damage, mildew and rot.
AMPLE SUNSHINE
Thanks to the characteristics of our latitudinal valley, our location is exposed to a prolonged abundance of full-spectrum sunshine.
PROTECTIVE VALLEYS
Nestled in a lush private setting, our 32-acre starting point is protected from the influences of outside industries and open to expand by another 99 acres in the immediate vicinity.
“Christina Lake is without question one of the finest outdoor cultivation environments in North America”
– NICCO DEHAAN, MASTER GROWER
We’re grown in the sun and second to none
LOWER COST
Outdoor cultivation has the advantages of significantly lower capital and operating costs and can be expanded far more rapidly than indoor operations. Large-scale expansion is readily available relative to indoor operations.
OUTDOOR GENETICS
We have developed and control a wide variety of proprietary outdoor genetic property (“strains”) and seed stock that have been proven to flourish in our local outdoor climate.
100% NATURAL WITH NO PESTICIDES
Full-spectrum sunlight versus artificial limited-spectrum lights greatly improves the quality of the plants.
LOW IMPACT
The impact on the environment is greatly reduced.
