Thanks so much to Grow Opportunity magazine for featuring us in their sustainable packaging cover story in their Jan/Feb issue! Exciting to see a sustainable future for cannabis packaging. Story starts on P. 16 https://bit.ly/37pW5pL

We're very excited to launch ocean sourced packaging - the first in Canada. Our first order alone pulled 2 tons - that's 4,000 lbs - of plastic from the ocean. Press release: https://bit.ly/3pred95

Exciting news!

Don't be koi - be our valentine!

Did you know? We recently reached an impressive milestone - we now have one metric tonne of koi fish in eight tanks at our facility! Luckily, our system accommodates 2.5-4 tonnes, so these little guys have plenty of room to grow over their 20-30 years.

THIS is medical cannabis made easier. Cannabis labels have a lot of fine print, and often look similar. Now, when you order Aqualitas cannabis oils, you'll receive colour-coded stickers to help you stay organized when taking your medication. Less confusion, more peace of mind!

Happiest of holidays to you and yours!

Warm thanks to the Striking Balance team for featuring Aqualitas and our beautiful town of Brooklyn in their season finale!

Thanks for sharing our story!

And thank-YOU for your hard work this holiday season!

Did you know? Aqualitas was the first LP in Canada to become Clean Green Certified back in 2018. It's more than a piece of paper for us - it's a passionate commitment to organic cultivation, sustainability and fair working conditions. This certification program, specific to cannabis producers and processors, strictly follows globally trusted organic standards used in all other fields of agriculture.

We're proud of you, Jake! https://bit.ly/2ISkPxJ

This year, to commemorate Remembrance Day, we made a donation through the wreath program and purchased poppy face masks for our team from the Maritime Tartan Company, who are donating partial proceeds to Nova Scotian Legions in support of veterans. We will always remember and honour those who have fallen.

Meet Delilah. She's been our fastest growing fish, increasing in size 20x in 12 months. Our best explanation for her incredible growth is that she's not a picky eater - she enjoys our high-fat salmon feed and our low-fat floating Koi feed.

Here's to many more ...

Just two days away from the two year anniversary!
