Cannabis 101 @ Red River College

Salutations~

I was sadly unable to attend the hiring / education expo being held at the RRC campus today, as I am still feeling like I shouldn't be in public til I'm all healed up from this cold. 

Just a short copy and paste for their Cannabis 101 course they are offering, beginning on Feb 19 and going til Mar 28 2019.   Course is 699$ + any additional material costs.  Bursaries may be available.

The benefits of this course are apparent for anyone wanting to make inroads into the legal cannabis workforce.  Having a bit of accreditation can go a long way when employers are weighing their potential candidates.    Good for both retail / support / education sectors as well as for people looking to build their cannabis specific knowledge coming from an agricultural background. 


This course will provide:

• a science-based overview of the cannabis plant from genetics, to production and processing, and to market;
• a review of the regulations and restrictions in the medical and recreational space, and how they apply provincially and federally;
• up-to-date information regarding medical cannabis therapy and harm reduction strategies;
• robust discussion on the safety and social responsibility topics in the industry; and.
• an overview of the current research and development in the industry
