Our Members
Each month we feature a selection of our Co-op Members and Supporters. They live the Co-op’s mission and demonstrate the innovative nature of the independent entrepreneurs that make up BC’s highly skilled craft cannabis sector.
Scott Rutledge, StoneGrove Cannabis
StoneGrove is as Mom and Pops as it gets. For Scott, a high-quality product always trumps high volume.
Adam Carmichael, Integrated Processing Inc.
A tight academic job market lured Adam to the greener side where he worked for Trees. After starting the lengthy Health Canada-approval process an eventual raid of the facilities, Adam was able to become CEO of his own processing company and hire many of his colleagues from Trees. This was a big day for Adam.
Sami Majadla, CEO, CTO at CertiCraft
On a mission to make the necessary evil easier for his clients, Sami has creatively crafted record-keeping and report-generation software to tame the complex beast of Health Canada and the CRA.
Kevin Lee, Business Advisor at ND Supplies
A painful experience turned Kevin into an advocate for cannabis as medicine. He now works closely with growers to develop innovative, appealing and environmentally-conscious cannabis packaging.
John Conroy, Barrister & Solicitor
John’s conviction that shaming should not be a factor in legislation, and that penalties should be commensurate with the harm done, underscored a career dedicated to protecting the rights of the incarcerated.
Clay McCann, MA, MFA & Co-op Board Member
His work concerns the social life of cannabis, and while that may seem a confusing claim, consider how cannabis is talked about in media accounts, how people identify with particular strains or consumption methods, how cannabis farmers talk about what they do and why it is important
Sami Sallo, BBA, CPHR, Community Curator and Founder of THeCo.
The term Community Curator was bestowed upon her by an insightful friend. It perfectly describes what drives her: to build bridges between people and communities in such a way as to unleash a creative force that is more than the sum of its parts.
Cory Waldron, Owner of Mood Cannabis Co.
After 2 1/2 years of research and planning, Cory opened Mood Cannabis Co., the first of his two retail stores in Nanaimo. His second store, also in Nanaimo, opened its doors just a month later.
Anna diBella CPA, Owner of CGA ProFix Accounting
She recognizes that under Health Canada regulations, it’s hard for farmers to be profitable. For processors or retailers who wonder why their sales are good but their bank account somehow is not, she can help.
Be part of a positive movement to accelerate the participation
of BC’s legendary craft cannabis sector in the legal market.
