Local Medical Marijuana Grower Joins The TSX

Leamington medical marijuana grower Aphria has started sharing common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

It could help the company attract bigger investors with deeper pockets.

"Aphria's listing on the TSX represents a major milestone in our strategic growth plan, helping to increase liquidity, access a growing investor base -- and raise capital for further investments," says CEO Vic Neufeld.

The common shares are being traded under the symbol APH.

Back in January, the company announced a $137-million capital plan to increase capacity at its growing operation in Leamington from 300,000 sq ft to 1-million sq ft.
