CALGARY, June 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Maple Leaf Green World Inc. ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") announces, further to its press release dated May 24, 2017, that the Company has signed up with Paramount Structures Inc. ("PSI") to commence construction immediately on its cannabis cultivation facility located in Telkwa, British Columbia (the "B.C. Facility").

The time schedule presented by PSI indicates that design, engineering, and procurement will begin immediately for the B.C. Facility, followed by site preparation in mid-August 2017. The estimated completion date of the building envelope is estimated to occur in early December 2017. The Company and PSI are working in conjunction to finalize the interior design of the B.C. Facility. It is expected that the interior construction and the installation of cultivation equipment and lighting will commence concurrent with completion of the building envelope. Progress reports for the B.C. Facility will be announced and posted on the Company's website when it becomes available.

Health Canada has introduced several improvements that aim to streamline the licensing of medical cannabis producers, which includes prioritising those applicants with built out schedule and issuing license without prior inspection upon proof of completion of built out. As such, the management of the Company believe that Maple Leaf will be able to successfully obtain the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (the "ACMPR") licence around the end of 2017 as originally planned.

"We are very pleased that we have retained two very capable and experienced consultants; PSI and CCI, to assist us in completing the final stages of obtaining the ACMPR license and for putting us back on track with our time table, despite an unexpected delay in the early part of this year," said Raymond Lai, President & C.E.O. of Maple Leaf.
