VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 4, 2017) - Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CBW) ("Cannabis Wheaton" or "CW") is pleased to announce the appointment of Manon Grand-Maitre to the Advisory Board of Cannabis Wheaton.

Ms. Grand-Maitre is a corporate commercial and regulatory lawyer with over 13 years of experience providing domestic and international advice to companies operating in the highly regulated tobacco and pharmaceutical industries.
