Canadian Cannabis Awards

2019 Canadian Cannabis Awards Winners

‘In November 2019, Lift & Co.’s sixth annual awards honoured the top products, people and companies in Canada’s cannabis industry.

For Canada’s burgeoning cannabis industry, the Canadian Cannabis Awards (CCAs) is a special event: a night of acclaim, camaraderie and more than a little bit of glamour. Presented in partnership with MNP, the black-tie gala at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in downtown Toronto drew hundreds of people from across Canada’s cannabis industry, recognizing the top people, products and companies across 32 categories. And as Canada marked its first year of legal recreational cannabis, this year’s awards saw a record-breaking number of consumer votes for their favourite dried flower, oils, capsules and pre-rolls.

Consumers’ choice awards: Consumers cast a record-breaking 31,000 votes by submitting reviews and receipts between August and October to choose the top cannabis products.’
