Canopy Growth (WEED-T) Health Canada is investigating whether two cannabis companies violated advertising laws when they sponsored a fundraiser last fall for a charity with ties to Bill Blair. Canopy Growth donated $5,000 to become a "Gold" sponsor of the Kids, Cops & Computers charity's Inspiration Night gala at Toronto's The Carlu event space on Oct. 23 -- just six days after recreational cannabis was legalized and strict new rules around advertising came into effect. Halo Labs, a cannabis extraction company operating in the United States, spent $10,000 to be one of a dozen or so "Platinum" sponsors of the event and have its logo advertised at the entrance along with Canopy Growth. Toronto-based businessman G. Scott Paterson is nonexecutive chair of Halo's board of directors and founder of the charity, which lists federal Organized Crime Reduction Minister Bill Blair as its honorary chair. Based on photos posted on-line by the charity, it does not appear Mr. Blair attended the October event, where the festivities included high-schoolers talking about how the charity had helped them.
