PUF Ventures (CSE:PUF, Frankfurt:PU3, OTCPK:PUFXF) an advanced Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR“) license applicant, has received and subsequently provided responses to a status update request letter from Health Canada with respect to the readiness for licensing of its majority owned AAA Heidelberg facility in London, Ontario.
Effective May 25, 2017, Health Canada abridged and amended the application process for prospective Licensed Producers. Under this new framework, the Company is awaiting the “Issuance of License to Produce” (Stage 3). The Company is currently working with its ACMPR consultants on the finalization of remaining items and facility upgrades in advance of any potential request for inspection by Health Canada. Specific focus will be directed towards completing the following items:

Installation of an air purification unit
Renovation of office space and employee break areas
Installation of final security systems
Sanitization and purification of the facility
Installation of perimeter security fencing
Improving the building façade

Management estimates that these final upgrades will take approximately four weeks to complete. So as to fast track its go-to-market strategy, in line with the Company’s recently announced joint venture agreement with Canopy Growth Corp., PUF hopes to capitalize on the newly instituted and streamlined ACMPR application process by completing the AAA Heidelberg facility as expeditiously as possible.
