TORONTO, ON --
October 17, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Wayland Group
(CSE:WAYL) (FRANKFURT: 75M)
(OTCQB:MRRCF) (“Wayland”
or the “Company“) is excited to announce the release of its
portfolio of brands that cater to different ages, genders, and
occasions. The Company’s extensive research created a portfolio of
brands, each designed to address segments of the cannabis market
both present and future. Strategically using each of these
brands, Wayland gave itself the ability to be present and relevant
to consumers.
“The advent of recreational
cannabis legalization in Canada is truly a watershed moment for
Canadians. As we lead the world by example on another modern and
controversial issue, we are thrilled to be at the forefront to
welcome this new age. As a company invested in the long-term growth
of the legal cannabis industry, first in providing
state-of-the-art, highest-quality medicinals and now, a breadth of
recreational products formulated with the same pharmaceutical
standards, we know this is just the first step towards educating
and demonstrating to the naysayers that legalization is the right
path.
"The responsibility now
lies with us, the companies behind the products, to show through
professionalism and dedication to the highest integrity and
operating standards that the benefits far outweigh the risks and
that slow and steady wins the race. Working closely with government
and our peers to ensure education and safety remain top of mind has
been the Company’s operating edict since its humble beginnings on a
farm in Norfolk, ON. We have now received the sales license from
Health Canada for our expansion in Norfolk and will be able to ship
product grown in our state-of-the-art facility,” said Ben Ward, CEO
Wayland Group.
Rather than taking a
one-size-fits-all approach, Wayland has taken a purposeful and
consumer-centric approach to each of its brands and offerings,
which was validated with local consumer research. Brands within the
portfolio will represent the quality and consistency that Wayland
Group is globally recognized for, in addition to satisfying
consumer needs.

facilities, investments in leading edge absorption technologies,
products focused on the needs of every consumer, a deeply
experienced team who have done this before in other legalized
markets, and we believe Wayland is poised to deliver on our promise
to improve lives through cannabis every day.
Today, Canada takes a
leadership position among its global peers, many of which we are
working with as they follow down the cannabis legalization path. As
a country, we will lead by example. And while there is a lot of
noise in the industry as we enter into this era, as is often the
case, the future is brightest for those who focus on the work at
hand. Success will lie with those who quietly build companies
dedicated to customer experiences focused on quality, value and a
commitment to getting it right.
Welcome to your future,
Canada. We’re excited to be a part of it.
