SMITHS FALLS, ON and
TORONTO, June 22, 2018 /CNW/ - Tweed, the industry's
best-known cannabis brand, is pleased to join Pride celebrations
taking place this week in Toronto
and culminating in the famous Toronto Pride Parade on Sunday, June 24.
From the very beginning, Tweed has been focused on fighting
stigma and changing perceptions around a plant that has the power
to help and heal, while also sowing the seeds of progress and
community development across Canada.
It's this same spirit that fuels Tweed's commitment to progress
and change, not just around cannabis, but around all of the issues
that define us as a country, company, and ultimately as people. At
Tweed, we know that diversity and inclusion are a source of
strength. They help us innovate, expand our horizons and
perspectives, and most importantly are essential to everyone living
their authentic and proud life.
Because of this, we're honoured to contribute to Toronto Pride
and other amazing Pride celebrations across the country that embody
these values and drive progress forward. It's equally important to
note that our participation is not a one-way street and has also
prompted self-reflection and development. We're a company that's
growing fast and as we do, we continue to find opportunities to
promote an inclusive and diverse workplace for all with the
knowledge that there's always room for improvement.
"We're proud to march alongside Pride to celebrate the progress
we've made on issues of social justice, inclusion, and diversity
while also smashing outdated perceptions about cannabis along the
way," said Bruce Linton, Founder and
CEO, Tweed. "Pride events across Canada and the world are fundamental to
acknowledging the sacrifice of activists and pioneers while also
reminding us that better is always possible."
To our friends at Pride Hamilton, Niagara, and Winnipeg it was so great to celebrate with
you. To Pride Halifax, PEI Pride, and Capital Pride in Ottawa, we can't wait to see and celebrate
with you soon.
Here's to Future progressive, inclusive, and loving Growth. (And
an amazing Toronto Pride!)
