HIGH TIDE TO RE-OPEN CANNA CABANA RETAIL CANNABIS STORES IN ONTARIO

As the result of an emergency order approved by Ontario's cabinet on April 7, 2020, High Tide Inc.'s Canna Cabana retail cannabis stores in Hamilton, Sudbury and Toronto will reopen in compliance with the order's scope of operations during the prescribed 14-day period. Many of the staff who were temporarily laid off from the Ontario stores are being recalled to fulfill the newly permitted customer orders available to be placed on-line and by phone.

"We applaud the Ontario government for openly listening to stakeholders, swiftly amending its position and reasonably allowing retail stores to reopen and provide customers with access to legal recreational cannabis products and accessories," said Raj Grover, president and chief executive officer. "All three Canna Cabana locations in Ontario are ready to receive click-and-collect orders via [the Canna Cabana website] and take orders over the phone for pickup at each store, while we continue to explore the option of providing deliveries to our valued customers," added Mr. Grover. High Tide continues to monitor the situation closely while keeping its retail and wholesale businesses open across Canada and internationally, subject to local restrictions.
