The marijuana producer is looking to fill more than 130 new positions as part of the company’s completed Part IV and Part V expansions.
Aphria has been granted a license amendment, permitting the company to start production in an additional 800,000 square feet of facilities at its Aphria One location.
A job fair will be held Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Portuguese Club in Leamington.
Interviews will be conducted on-site and Human Resources staff will be on hand to meet prospective employees.

Aphria has already established nearly 22,000 plants in the Part IV and Part V expansion, with an additional 12,000 plants added each week thereafter until we reach full crop rotation.
