Flin Flon has lost its title as Canada's medical marijuana capital.
Prairie Plant Systems, the Saskatoon-based company contracted to produce a supply of medical marijuana for Health Canada, left the city June 30 after producing pot in an underground mine there for the better part of a decade.
The company did not return a call seeking comment but a spokesman for Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting, which rented out part of its Trout Lake mine for the grow operation, confirmed the deal with PPS has ended.
"Our understanding is they moved to another location to accommodate Health Canada's need for them to move to a larger facility," he said.
A Health Canada spokesman would not say where the operation has moved "for security reasons."
