The Canadian Cannabis Awards (CCAs) are an annual celebration recognizing excellence and innovation in Canada’s cannabis industry. The CCAs highlight the best people, products and companies in the nation. The effort is organized by Lift & Co., a leading Canadian cannabis-focused technology and media company.
Recipients of product awards are determined by Lift & Co. product reviews. Winners in all other categories are determined by public nominations and an industry judging panel.
“The voter-driven nature of these distinctions is humbling,” Engel continued. “Our people and products were heralded by real consumers and industry leaders who, arguably, understand cannabis quality and innovation better than anyone else in Canada. Thank you to all those who have contributed to our successes over the past 12 months.”
Organigram is a past recipient of three CCAs, including Top Sativa Flower (Wabanaki), Top Blend/Value Variety (Blueberry Cheesecake) and Top Licensed Producer Compassionate Pricing. All were awarded at the 2017 ceremony for products and service in the Company’s medical division.
