CLC Christina Lake Cannabis Corp

Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “CLC” or “Christina Lake Cannabis”) (CSE:CLC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mervin Boychuk as Non-Executive Chairman of CLC’s Board of Directors as well as an Independent Director of the Company. Mr. Boychuk was a founding member on CLC’s Advisory Committee, where he provided input and guidance to the Company’s management team as CLC prepared to begin cultivation and production. The Company welcomes Mervin to now serve on CLC’s Board of Directors and assist the Company in setting policies for corporate management and oversight.

Mervin Boychuk is a serial entrepreneur who has founded, built, and sold four businesses over his 35-year career. In 1973, Mr. Boychuk joined South Rock Ltd. (“South Rock”), a private road construction company, and subsequently became President & CEO in 1980. Under his leadership, South Rock grew from 20 employees to over 350, with annual revenues in excess of CAD $180 million, before subsequently being acquired by Aecon Group Inc. in 2009. During his tenure at South Rock, Boychuk co-founded RecycleWest, a waste oil collection and supply company, which was later acquired by Newalta in 1995. In 1996, Mr. Boychuk co-founded EnviroWest which serviced the British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan vacuum truck sludge and waste oil collection markets. EnviroWest was sold to GFL Environmental in 2010, a large waste management company that employs over 8,850 people. Mr. Boychuk is a significant shareholder in Christina Lake Cannabis and continues to be active in the family-owned waste treatment business in Calgary and Edmonton. 

“I believed in the project from day one, starting as an investor, and was able to put my skills from the private sector to good use in helping Christina Lake get built out and on a path to becoming a successful business. We’ve hit our key milestones in a short period of time, and we’re on track to finish the year strong,” commented Mervin Boychuk.

Joel Dumaresq, CEO and Director of Christina Lake Cannabis commented, “I would like to personally thank Mr. Boychuk for his leadership while he served on CLC’s Advisory Committee, and I’m grateful that a highly accomplished entrepreneur and business operator will take a seat on our Board and help steer CLC into becoming a global leader in the cannabis space.”
