Other safeguards include eight foot barbed-wired perimeter fencing with a detection system, finger scanner and key card access on every door in the facility and a secure vault that safeguards all processed cannabis.

“We did community consultations with Nipisisng First Nation last October and we have support from chief and council,: Allard says.
