MEDICAL POT OPERATION LEAVES FLIN FLON

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."
