Glacial Gold to be available in Saskatchewan

"The Saskatchewan model is unique and our partnership with NCD and Kiaro allows Glacial Gold to be distributed in two-thirds of the cannabis retailers in that provincial market," said Nextleaf CEO and co-founder Paul Pedersen. "Since the launch of Glacial Gold vapes and distilled oils in September, we have received nation-wide interest from cannabis retailers and consumers that enthusiastically recognize our brand from its prohibition days and are eager to consume it once again. We are delighted to partner with NCD to bring Glacial Gold CBD and THC products to loyal consumers in Saskatchewan with affinity for the brand, as well as expand our reach to new consumers looking for accessibly priced extracts."

"We are excited to partner with Nextleaf to bring high quality products like Glacial Gold vapes and distilled oils to the Saskatchewan market," said Brent McFadzen, General Manager of NCD.

"NCD is very pleased to be working with a first-class producer such as Nextleaf to further expand our product range in Saskatchewan and continue to introduce high quality Canadian cannabis brands to the market," added Kiaro CEO Daniel Petrov.

Monthly recreational cannabis sales in Saskatchewan reached $13.4 million in August 20211.

Nextleaf launched its award-winning, prohibition-era brand Glacial Gold™ in British Columbia last month, receiving national attention for quality products at disruptive price points. Included in the initial launch of Glacial Gold™ were seven total SKUs, consisting of four 1-gram cannabis vapes and three distilled oils.

Glacial Gold™ Distilled CBD 50 Oil features high-purity distillate in a base of organic coconut MCT oil for a premium consumption experience, without premium pricing. A clean tasting and neutral oil allows for the greatest flexibility in use and consumption occasions. Glacial Gold™ has quickly become one of the top selling brands of CBD oil in British Columbia.

The initial vape lineup from Glacial Gold™ is offered in two potency levels to match the consumer's tolerance level or consumption occasion. The Session THC Vape features a full potency THC profile for cannabis enthusiasts who seek a more elevated experience and connection. The Anytime 1:1 Vape is formulated with a balanced THC and CBD profile for consumers looking for a more moderate, go-to vape. The Glacial Gold™ Anytime Vape is currently the top value CBD 1:1 vape cart in B.C.
