Health Canada investigating cannabis sponsorship of charity event tied to Bill Blair
Health Canada is investigating whether two cannabis companies violated advertising laws when they sponsored a fundraiser last fall for a Toronto-based charity with ties to Bill Blair, the federal minister who oversaw the legalization of the drug.
Canopy Growth Corp., which is one of Canada’s largest publicly traded cannabis companies, donated $5,000 to become a “Gold” sponsor of the Kids, Cops & Computers charity’s Inspiration Night gala at Toronto’s The Carlu event space on Oct. 23 – just six days after recreational cannabis was legalized and strict new rules around advertising came into effect.
