Greenway Granted Expanded Cultivation License

Feb 17, 2023

KINGSVILLE, ON, - Greenway Greenhouse Cannabis Corporation (CSE: GWAY) (OTC: GWAYF) ("Greenway" or the "Company"), a cultivator of high-quality greenhouse cannabis for the Canadian market, is pleased to announce that it has received its approval from Health Canada for its expansion to 4 acres of cultivation space.

"This expansion is the final step of a year long process, expanding Greenway's capacity to 24, 000 KG of annual production," said Jamie D'Alimonte, CEO of Greenway. "I want to thank our team for all of the hard work that has gone into this. The new licensed space will provide Greenway with enough capacity to accommodate both our large and small B2B customers that have been approaching us with increased demand for our products, as well as provide us with the ability to launch our own B2C brands later this year."

"Greenway has been an industry leader in cost of production, all while operating with only 1 acre of cultivation space. Expanding to 4 acres will achieve further cost efficiencies, establishing Greenway as the lowest cost cultivator in the industry," said Carl Mastronardi, President of Greenway. "Our leadership team has a proven track record of scaling up agricultural greenhouse production from 1 to over 100 acres. We are confident that we can scale up our production without sacrificing product quality, while increasing our efficiencies. When the expansion is fully utilized, the Company is poised to significantly increase revenue and achieve true profitability."

Ask Canada’s most decorated soybean breeder his favourite part of the job and he doesn’t name a single variety. He names the students.

Istvan Rajcan is a professor of soybean breeding and genetics in the Department of Plant Agriculture at the University of Guelph, where he has run the soybean breeding program for 28 and a half years. In that time he has developed 87 soybean cultivars, published 140 refereed papers and trained 51 graduate students. In 2025 he received the Public Sector Impact Award from the National Association for Plant Breeding.

He is also worried. In this episode he says Canada is at a crossroads, pointing to recent government cuts to plant breeding programs and to the facilities that support them. His prescription is structural. "Plant breeding funding formula has to be a long-term one," he says.

The formula he is defending is the public-private matching arrangement his program runs on. Private seed companies fund the work, provincial or federal money matches it, and the combined pool stretches each dollar further than either source could alone. At the National Association for Plant Breeding annual meeting in June, he says American public breeders were often surprised at how well that collaboration works in Canada.

He also describes how the people entering plant breeding have changed. His early graduate students came mostly from farms. More recently they include, in his words, "city kids who just became excited about genetics."
