SQDC welcomes local products from Abitibi’s mindiCANNA

HUNTINGDON, QC, January 25th, 2021 — The first cannabis micro-producer to emerge in Québec now has local products on SQDC shelves thanks to a new initiative from ROSE LifeScience Inc.

DLYS, by ROSE, is a brand-collective which unites Québec’s regional micro-producers to share resources and help bring their local cannabis to market. Amos, developed by mindiCANNA out of Abitibi, QC, is the first product available under the DLYS moniker.

“Consumers deserve to have access to the great work local producers are doing here. Now they can.” said Davide Zaffino, President and Chief Financial Officer at ROSE.

The DLYS cannabis collective directly benefits local producers by simplifying the distribution process and making it easier to share their expertise with Québec’s consumer market. ROSE works directly with the SQDC to ensure that can happen.

Two renowned cannabis experts, Daniel Lessard and Carl Richard, are at the helm of mindiCANNA, where they take advantage of some of the world’s best water and growing soil to elevate the development of their plants.

“This is our passion,” said mindiCANNA co-founder Daniel Lessard. “We know how to grow cannabis here, in optimal ways.”
