TORONTO, July 3, 2019 /CNW/ - National Access Cannabis Corp. ("NAC" or the "Company") (TSXV: META), Canada's largest cannabis retailer according to provincial licensing statistics, today announced it has received two additional licences from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (the "AGLC") to open cannabis retail stores in Alberta.
