A new hybrid greenhouse facility larger than 16 football fields that will produce marijuana has broken ground in Leduc County, Alta.
Aurora Cannabis has started construction on the 800,000 square foot production facility, which the company said will be the be the largest, most advanced and most automated cannabis production facility in the world.
"Our objectives are very clear: to build the largest production capacity, with the highest production quality and the lowest production cost," Aurora president Steve Dobler said.
The company expects "Aurora Sky" to have the capability of producing 100,000 kilograms of marijuana per year.
Aurora believes the facility's location will provide access to transportation, industrial infrastructure, power, water, gas and courier services.
The company — which already operates a 55,200 square foot facility in Mountain View County, Alta. — said the closed-system, hybrid greenhouse concept of the design will give cultivation specialists control over environmental variables to ensure quality is consistent.
"We spent the past year evaluating and selecting the world's best design concept for cannabis production on a massive scale. We are confident that the Aurora Sky project will achieve all of our key objectives, and further establish Aurora as an innovator and world leader in the cannabis sector," Dobler said.
The target completion date for the facility is October 2017.
The federal government has said it will legalize recreational marijuana by spring 2017, which mean Canadians will be able to legally buy marijuana to use purely for pleasure next year.
A CIBC report earlier this year estimated the size of the national recreational cannabis market at up to $10 billion.
