Curative Cannabis

Curative Cannabis, an early stage cannabis cultivation company that is in the process of building a facility in Chatham, Ontario, was placed in receivership on September 19 on application by Auxly Cannabis Group, owed approximately $16.2 million. The company's facility is approximately 90% complete and it has submitted its application for a cultivation license. The company's loan from Auxly, which was used to finance the acquisition of the Chatham land and the construction of the facility, matured in August 2019 and the company has been unable to refinance the loan or otherwise put forward a proposal acceptable to Auxly. Farber was appointed receiver. Counsel is Bennett Jones for the applicant and Siskinds for the company.
