The newest supplier to Alberta’s shortage-plagued cannabis retailers recently suffered an electrical fire, leading to the destruction of multiple plants just before it delivered its first shipment.
On Dec. 10, smoke was seen pouring out of a building at Sundial Growers’ flagship facility at Olds, north of Calgary, said company spokeswoman Claire Buffone-Blair.
“Nobody was hurt and everybody was safely evacuated,” she said.
But the incident led staff to dispose of all cannabis plants contained in four rooms at the facility, though Buffone-Blair couldn’t say how many were uprooted.
