You may have heard about the National Indigenous Cannabis & Hemp Conference in Calgary (Nov 2018) or Ottawa (Feb 2019) and wished you had sent someone from your Community. We are now doing the third conference: NICHC Kelowna, being held on November 26-28 at the Grand Okanagan Resort in Kelowna BC. Now is your chance to make sure you do not miss this important conference.
Who will benefit from attending the National Indigenous Cannabis & Hemp Conference in Kelowna? Your EcDev Officer, Chief’s and Council, Health Officers, anyone who wants to discover a path to selfsufficiency though involvement in Cannabis or Hemp.
These 2 days will be packed with Indigenous, expert-led Sessions and on day two, there is the added bonus of a full day educational session on Community Wellness, focusing on harm reduction for addictions from opioids and strategies that could be helpful for your Nation. In addition, there is a full day Educational Session on Hemp – the lower cost crop alternative to Cannabis. How to get involved, what Hemp can do for Community wealth, who are the buyers, what is the process, what is the return on investment and more.
