The “University of Manitoba Hemp Awareness Committee” or UMHAC as it became known, was founded by Martin Moravcik, Meera Sarin, Wayne Potoroka and Gil Maguet.[1] Manitoba Hemp Alliance (MHA) lobbied officials and organized hemp support. The MHA convinced the Manitoban government to permit the first hemp research in Manitoba after hemp’s 50-year hiatus.[2]
