Chuck Rifici, Chairman & CEO at Auxly Cannabis Group has been honored as the 2019 Canna Chief of the Year. Chuck Rifici is a pioneer of the North American cannabis industry having created and managed opportunities that have positively impacted the Canadian landscape. Chuck has founded and been involved in the creation of some of Canada's largest and most successful cannabis efforts. He is best known for having co-founded Canopy Growth Corporation (formerly Tweed Marijuana Inc.).
Today, Chuck is Chairman and CEO of Auxly Cannabis Group, a platform spanning the entire cannabis value-chain, minimizing risk while simultaneously maximizing exposure to multiple, geographically-diverse cannabis companies through a single source, and Founder and CEO of Nesta Holding Co., a private equity firm that creates wide ranging partnerships and brands within the cannabis industry
When Chuck was informed that he was selected as the 2019 Canna Chief of the Year, he was thrilled. Chuck said, "I am thrilled to accept the 2019 Canna Chief of the Year. This comes at an important time, for myself, but also for advocates and our industry. 2018 was a historic year, so many have contributed a great deal of time, energy and passion to this industry. I accept this honour with pride and will remain committed and eager to explore new opportunities and projects that give back to the consumer in a way we can be extremely proud of."
In anticipation of Health Canada's regulations expected to come into effect on October 17, 2019, CANNACHIEFS Media is organizing a CannaChiefs Interactive Workshop Luncheon at the W Hotel in Montreal on July 10th. This interactive workshop series will be focused on Legalization 2.0 and dive deep into edibles, topicals, beverages and vape products.
This next wave of legalization brings with it a $3.7Bil opportunity and cannabis industry entrepreneurs are betting that edibles, topicals, beverages & vape market segments will finally tip the scales and convert grey market consumers over to the legal market in droves. With so much at stake, we are bringing together some of the biggest players in the industry to participate in this workshop series. The unique differentiating feature of this interactive round table workshop series is that all the attendees will have an equal opportunity to contribute and demonstrate thought leadership.
We are thrilled that our 2019 Canna Chief of the Year, Chuck Rifici, has agreed to co-moderate some of the workshop sessions along with industry experts Dooma Wendschuh, CEO & Co-Founder at Province Brands, Angela Mustone, CEO & Founder of High on Love and Michael Dubuc, CEO & Founder at Miss Envy Botanicals.
After the workshop, the entire group will enjoy the Jennifer Lopez concert at the Bell Centre in our executive suites for an evening of networking and entertainment. The CannaChief Media Legalization 2.0 workshop agenda can be seen here.

On October 17, 2019, Health Canada's Regulations come into force and license holders can begin to submit new product notifications.
