Why Stratford?
January 19, 2022
GreenSeal Cannabis Co.’s custom built, industry-leading indoor
cultivation facility is located in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
When you mention Stratford, most people immediately think of…
Ok, most people think of Justin Bieber.
But after the Biebs, many people will think of the world-class Stratford Festival.
Since 1952, the Festival has been drawing tens of thousands
of Shakespeare-loving tourists to the community every season.
But the city of Stratford today is about much more than world
class theatre and popstar incubation.
Stratford (population 33,000 and counting) is becoming well-known as a progressive hub for technology and innovation – the perfect environment for GreenSeal to thrive.
With 6 retail cannabis stores and one kick-ass Licensed Producer, Stratford is also gaining a reputation as a Canadian cannabis hotspot.
City Support From Day One
Back in 2015, our first step was to apply for zoning approval to purchase city-owned land for the construction of our cutting-edge cannabis production facility in Wright Business Park.
When Stratford City Council unanimously approved our application, we knew we’d chosen the perfect place to set up shop.
Once complete, our state-of-the-art cultivation site earned a 2018 Grand Valley Construction Association (GVCA) Award of Excellence – Stratford deserves nothing less than the best!
Hubs for Tech and Innovation
Stratford and GreenSeal Cannabis Co. have an important quality in common: we both embrace innovation and technology.
Stratford powers itself. The City of Stratford runs the electrical power distribution service as a public utility, known as Festival Hydro.
City-wide public Wi-Fi. The entire city is a public Wi-Fi hotspot, with a high-speed broadband wireless network made available to all residents, businesses and visitors, and wireless smart meters servicing every home and business
Testing and demonstration site for autonomous vehicles. The establishment of the city-wide Wi-Fi led to an $80-million government investment supporting the establishment of Stratford as the first site for live testing driverless cars (aka autonomous vehicles).
Digital media campus. The University of Waterloo recognized Stratford was perfect for a tech-based education centre and established the Stratford School of Interactive Design and Business in the city’s downtown.
We’re at Home in Stratford
For a city with just a little over 30,000 residents, Stratford certainly punches above its weight.
There’s no shortage of exciting, cutting-edge projects and businesses setting up in the community, which makes us feel right at home.
Our approach to cannabis cultivation is all about developing and testing new ideas to grow the best product possible at the most affordable price for our customers.
Rather than testing driverless cars, GreenSeal is creating new cannabis genetics, implementing safer and more efficient power delivery formats, and pushing the limits of multilevel vertical cultivation.
