At least three senior employees at embattled cannabis producer CannTrust Holdings Inc. have departed from their roles at the company, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
“These appointments are part of a broader organizational transformation, which has included a number of departures and the reassignment of roles and responsibilities,” Shapiro said in an emailed response to the Post. Green’s LinkedIn page states that he had been with CannTrust since 2014, starting out as a grower and rising up to lead the cannabis cultivation program.
Seven current and former CannTrust employees who spoke to the Financial Post on the condition of anonymity say that the Pelham facility — where the majority of CannTrust’s cannabis cultivation takes place — became “disorganized and chaotic” with no clear chain of command when former company president Brad Rogers and head of production Michael Ravensdale left the company last November. The company was left to a group of “young, inexperienced growers calling the shots,” they say.
Another former employee said that she felt like she had “direct access” to Rogers and Ravensdale, who would almost always respond to emails sent by lower-level employees about any issues that were taking place at the greenhouse. Her description was corroborated by six of the seven employees who spoke to the Post, all of whom, at one point or another, worked with Green at the Pelham facility.
In mid-June, former CannTrust employee Nick Lalonde told Health Canada that he was asked by his supervisor to hang poly walls to cover up plants that were growing in unlicensed areas, before submitting photos to the department. Lalonde’s email to Health Canada was sent just two weeks before a surprise inspection was conducted at the Pelham facility, which discovered the unlicensed growing.
“The Special Committee has taken and will continue to take decisive action based on facts,” she added, referring to an independent committee set up by the company in July to investigate what led to the unlicensed growing.
