COVID-19 forced the event, which began in 1868 and showcases Southwestern Ontario’s agricultural community, off the 80-acre grounds of London’s Western Fair District for two years running.
Earlier this month, the WFA announced the annual yearling sale, which it has been hosting for nearly 20 years, is returning.
In fact, Southwestern Ontario has become known as Canada’s cannabis belt.
Berney isn’t looking to compete with large established conferences but instead wants to offer Canadian companies an opportunity to have a presence in a region of the country that is significantly involved in the sector.
Ideally, Berney wants to see cannabis reach a point where it’s treated like tomatoes or cucumbers, rather than viewed through a lens of criminalization and propaganda.
The CannabisWiki conference will host guest speakers both in-person and virtually, with support from Mien Tzu, a virtual event platform Berney founded in 2020.
The purpose of the summit was to empower BIPOC entrepreneurs and connect them to resources, mentorship and future networking opportunities.
The CannabisWiki expo also works towards the WFA’s focus on relationship-building and promotion of local agri-food producers and production.
