Across the 17 Toronto, Ontario community and lifestyle listings shown, disclosed round sizes cluster mostly between $800K and $35M, but one disclosed outlier breaks the pattern: Cansortium raised $97M on 2024-11-26, well above the next-largest disclosed amount (Phoenix Health at $35M on 2025-03-13). Stage and timing also form visible bands: 6 of the 17 rounds are dated in 2024 (from 2024-12-13 back to 2024-06-18), and another 2 fall in early 2025 (2025-03-13 and 2025-03-17), with the most recent entry being Sol Global investments on 2025-07-17 at $5M.
On stage mix, “Series Unknown” appears in 6 of 17 rows, while two rows are explicitly “undisclosed” (Nugget on 2023-06-01 and Dog Child on 2023-05-01). Geography is consistent—every row lists Toronto, Ontario, and the timeline spans 2020-06-12 (Lane) through 2025-07-17 (Sol Global investments).

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size in this Toronto community and lifestyle set?
Cansortium’s $97M on 2024-11-26 is the only disclosed round above $50M in the list and materially larger than Phoenix Health’s $35M on 2025-03-13. Outside those two, several entries concentrate in the single-digit millions (e.g., Pok Pok $6M on 2024-06-18; Sol Global investments $5M on 2025-07-17).
Are there clusters in time among these most recent 17 rounds?
Yes. Six of the 17 rounds fall in 2024 (Flora Growth 2024-12-13 at $3M back through Pok Pok 2024-06-18 at $6M), and two additional rounds land in early 2025 (Phoenix Health 2025-03-13 at $35M; Sprout Family 2025-03-17 at $1M). The range spans 2020-06-12 (Lane) to 2025-07-17 (Sol Global investments).
How dominant is “Series Unknown,” and how much is actually undisclosed?
“Series Unknown” shows up in 6 of 17 rows (e.g., Sol Global investments 2025-07-17 at $5M; Cansortium 2024-11-26 at $97M; Flora Growth 2024-12-13 at $3M). Two rows are explicitly “undisclosed” (Nugget on 2023-06-01; Dog Child on 2023-05-01), which prevents comparing those entries on amount.
Which stage labels appear most in this list, and are they concentrated around certain sizes?
Seed appears in 2 rows (Eirene 2024-04-03 at $3M; Nugget 2023-06-01 is undisclosed), while Pre-Seed appears in 2 rows (Sprout Family 2025-03-17 at $1M; Communyco 2021-01-15 at $100K). Larger disclosed checks are more visible in named later stages—Phoenix Health at $35M (Series A on 2025-03-13) and HiMama at $56M (Series B on 2021-11-18)—than in Pre-Seed.
Are there outliers besides Cansortium that are worth flagging?
Cansortium at $97M on 2024-11-26 is the biggest disclosed outlier, but there are also low disclosed floors: Centre Francophone du Grand Toronto at $100K on 2023-01-09 and Communyco at $100K on 2021-01-15. At the top end, $56M (HiMama on 2021-11-18) sits between the $97M peak and the rest that largely sit under $35M (e.g., Pok Pok $6M; Flora Growth $3M; Auxly Cannabis Group $3M).
