January 26, 2023 - Cannabis Distributor Licence
I am delighted to announce that WETT Sales & Distribution Inc. has been issued a Cannabis Distributor Licence, effective January 25, 2023, by the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA).
Essentially, a cannabis distributor licence authorizes WETT to acquire cannabis, store cannabis in Manitoba, and deliver cannabis to cannabis stores across the province.
This exciting addition to our overall operation will add value to WETT's current services and deliver a strategic level of diversification capable of reaching long-range company goals and growth.
Although the entire cannabis industry is still in its infancy stage, at least as it pertains to distribution, I am excited to see where the business can go and how we can help the hundreds of licensed producers in Canada move their products from seed to sale efficiently and expeditiously.
Should anyone have questions regarding this announcement, please feel free to bring them to my attention.

April 14, 2022 - MBLL Cannabis Cross-Docking Partnership
Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries has recently announced that WETT Sales & Distribution Inc. has been selected as part of a competitive RFP process to provide cannabis cross-docking services in Manitoba. WETT offers a significant amount of warehousing and logistics experience.
Cross-docking was identified as a practical short-term response to a growing retail landscape in Manitoba. WETT is authorized to consolidate shipments across several licensed producers, reducing lead times, improving access to small, rural, and remote retailers, reducing the number of shipments to retail, and minimizing issues related to shipping delays.
This is a voluntary program. Licensed producers are not required to participate and may continue to serve the Manitoba market in the same capacity they do today. Licensed producers can still direct-ship themselves or through a third party as is currently practiced today. Licensed producers are not required to enter into an agreement with one of the successful warehousing and distribution organizations.
Products may be delivered through WETT, or retailers may request to continue to direct-ship from the licensed producer.
