The Power of Alignment
=0D=0A=Calling all professional and customer service, manufacturing, arts & creative, retail & distribution, trade, technology, health and education business decision makers & entrepreneurs with a vested interest in the Cannabis sector. You are invited to collaborate with like-minded professionals with a goal of masterminding an aligned vision to accelerate Vancouver Island as an unforgettable place to #GetWorkDone in the Cannabis sector.
=0D=0A=The Opportunity
=0D=0A=The legalization of Cannabis means a massive change to the infrastructure, healthcare, and revenue for the government of Canada, and it also means a healthy injection of legalized business for entrepreneurs, business decision makers, service providers, manufacturers, arts culture experience providers, retailers & distributors, trades and educators. To get your head around the opportunity, accounting firm Deloitte came up with a headline-grabbing figure of $22.6 billion a year for the Canadian pot industry (CBC News)...which would exceed the total beer, wine and spirit industry combined.
=0D=0A=Who are we?
