Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 19, 2024) - Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) (FSE: L0MA) ("Nextleaf", "OILS", or the "Company"), a leading life science firm and licensed cannabis processor, announces their latest lineup of product launches in advance of 4/20, a commemorative day within the cannabis community worldwide. In celebration, the Company is also pleased to debut a series of innovative national brand activations for its acclaimed legacy-to-legal brand Glacial GoldTM.
The spirit of 4/20 (acknowledged globally on April 20th) recognizes the decades of advocacy efforts leading to legalization and destigmatization of the plant and its derivatives.
Established in 2015, Glacial Gold is a uniquely authentic brand in the now federally regulated Canadian adult-use and medical channels. With roots in the pre-legalization era, Glacial Gold is a brand nostalgically celebrated amongst budtenders and consumers who recognize its long-standing history and have become early adopters and influencers in the legal landscape.

In keeping with their commitment to rapid innovation and speed-to-market advantage, the Company will debut a series of product launches throughout all major adult-use markets, including vapes, softgels, infused prerolls and oils throughout their third quarter (April-June), including:

Glacial Gold recently debuted the concept to positive reviews at KIND Gardens, a budtender focused event in Vancouver on April 11th and will further expand the concept throughout Alberta and Ontario later this spring-summer through a series of retail and consumer activations.
"Identifying compliant but compelling marketing activations is an industry-wide challenge. Working within the regulations, our team is constantly looking for ways to deliver a memorable brand experience in an economical and captivating way. We are hyper-focused on delivering ROI, and creating customer delight is a cornerstone of our marketing efforts. Personally, taking part in the debut of our 'Glacial Cones' shaved ice experience affirmed that we hit the mark with this concept, and I witnessed first-hand the resonance with retailers and consumers," shares Emma Andrews, Interim CEO.
