Aurora Sky is a 100,000 kg per year, 800,000 sq ft (74,000 m2) cannabis growing greenhouse on Edmonton International Airport property in Leduc County, Alberta.[2] Construction broke ground in June 2017, and it was completed in January 2019.[3][4] The company closed the Aurora Sun facility in 2020 and reduced its operations at Aurora Sky after several layoffs.[5]
Construction on a 50% to 100% larger facility, Aurora Sun, at in Medicine Hat,[1] was "paused" in late 2019.[6] If construction were completed, Sun would become the largest cannabis greenhouse in the world.[7]
In May 2022, Aurora announced it would close Aurora Sky.[8] Aurora acquired a majority stake in greenhouse company BevoAgtech, which took over both the Sky and Sun facilities to produce orchids and starter vegetables in 2023.[9][10][11]
