Health Canada has approved the first medicinal marijuana plant in Alberta and it will be located near the village of Cremona, north of Calgary.
The plant is expected to begin production immediately with its first harvest ready in about three months.
According to the Calgary Herald, it will cost $10.5 million to build the facility, which will produce about eight thousand kilograms of marijuana annually.
The plant will also employ about a hundred workers which the owners are hoping to recruit from the Agricultural Program at Olds College.
