Tidal Health Solutions Ltd.

Tidal Health Solutions Ltd., a Montreal, Quebec-based cannabis producer with a facility in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, filed an NOI on July 30, listing approximately $17.9 million in liabilities. The company, which has had significant operating losses for the past several years, attributes its financial difficulties to the significant start-up costs of building its facility, delays in obtaining a licence, much lower growth rate in the cannabis market than anticipated, and difficulty accessing financing for Canadian cannabis companies. Furthermore, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting delay in launching Ontario retail stores, initial purchase commitments from Ontario were significantly disrupted. Iostesso Holdings will be providing up to $1.0 million in interim financing during these proceedings. PwC is the proposal trustee. McCarthy Tétrault is counsel to the company.
