CBD brand BRZY is premiering in cannabis retail stores across Ontario, Alberta, and BC this Fall. Already hailed as one of the top cannabis beverages in Canada, BRZY sparkling spring water will be launching three flavours including Yuzu Ginger, Peach Basil and Apple Hibiscus. Partnered with Tree Canada, BRZY aims to give back to the environment by offsetting its carbon impact by planting trees with every purchase.

On October 28th, BRZY will be partnering with Tree Canada as a rain check for National Tree Day recruiting 50 budtenders to plant trees in the Greater Toronto Area.

BRZY was founded by accidental entrepreneur Adam Kagan, founder of Ontarieau sustainable water company. Adam has been featured in Edible Magazine and Foodism as a local success story with his closed loop spring water company. Social entrepreneur first and foremost, Adam is looking to solve problems and give back to society with innovative products which improve everyday life.

"As a Canadian owned and operated small business we are excited to be launching BRZY in Canada. BRZY is more than a cannabis drink company. We serve as a daily reminder to slow down, breathe, and experience life. We design interesting experiences that go beyond the leaf. Our unique flavour pairings reflect the complexity and beauty of nature. We care about our home and are proudly partnered with Tree Canada to work towards reducing our carbon emissions through the planting of native trees in Canada." - Adam Kagan, BRZY Founder

About this Event

Legalization 2.0 is happening on October 17th, 2019, introducing edibles, infused beverages, topicals, and extracts to the Canadian market. While these products won't necessarily hit the shelves on October 17th, it's important to understand how the industry will be affected.

CannTx Life Sciences and 3M are bringing together strategic Canadian business leaders from across the Consumer-Facing Cannabis products category, this includes CBD/ Cannabis Products & Devices, Food, Beverages and Cosmetics together to share how best to capitalize on Canada’s legalization of the sale of cannabis derivatives this fall.

The goals of the one day workshop is to:

• Understand consumer trends & demands from across Canada,

• Identify opportunities to introduce Cannabis infused products into existing retail markets,

• Review recent product innovations to understand how marketers are adapting technology to meet expected consumer demands,

• Understand how the distribution and retail networks will be working together to help you bring these products to market.

This is a strategic event designed for those who have commercial or strategic responsibility. This is not a scientific or medical research focused event, but a platform to share best practices and meet solution providers to allow derivative participants to monetize their sales opportunities across Canada.

This event discusses topics including: Product Launches, Regulatory Affairs, Business Opportunities, Tracking Methods & Marketing & Promotional Practices.

Join the CanWeeDine Collective with Lifford after the film shoot for an AMA panel with industry thought leaders, ending with drinks and hors d’oeuvre featuring Toronto’s top chefs to fundraise for Cannabis Amnesty.

It’s an industry where the female plant is the most powerful. So, it’s appropriate that proactive and powerful women are playing key roles in cannabis from the ground up. They’re CEOs, financial advisors, investors and empire builders (starting up everything from hydroponics stores to bud-and-breakfast tour companies), cannabis “beat” journalists, drug policy activists, dispensary advocates, bloggers and cannabis lifestyle consultants. This panel of influencers are sharing their morning with O’Cannabiz delegates, as well as their insights into the market, gender-specific product trends, and the advances and challenges that remain in an evolving sector.
