VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “CLC”) is pleased to announce that on Friday, March 27, 2020 it was granted its Standard Cultivation License (“SCL”) from Health Canada for the Company's 32 acre phase I facility.  This licence authorizes the cultivation and sale of cannabis under the Cannabis Act and provides the Company with over 950,000 sf of licenced outdoor cultivation space.
