AQIC – Quebec Cannabis Industry Association

With over 90 members, the Quebec Cannabis Industry Association (AQIC) is committed to working with government and stakeholders to advance the Quebec cannabis industry to its full potential and encourage innovation through science and technology. The AQIC provides a space to share information and reflect upon common challenges and opportunities. The Association was founded in 2019, on the principle that we can accomplish more together.
