Customers no longer have to wait for upwards of a week to safely receive their product. We are now one step closer to becoming the Uber of Cannabis in Canada. I would like to thank both the ParcelPal and Kiaro team for all the hard work completing this project for our up coming launch." Mr. Abbott Continues: "We will also be rolling out several verticals in the month of April within the city of Saskatoon.
