Five colleges across Canada have joined forces to form a consortium for cannabis.
The Canadian College Consortium for Cannabis, which includes Okanagan College, was formed “to explore and pursue joint cannabis training and applied research opportunities,” according to a press release.
Organizers are calling the consortium a first-of-a-kind collaboration in the post-secondary sector.
Also making up the consortium are NorQuest College in Edmonton, Niagara College and Durham College in Ontario and New Brunswick’s Collège communautaire plus Colleges and Institutes Canada, which is the national organization that represents publicly supported colleges.
