Safety and Security and Don Shaxon as Senior Advisor

Vancouver - Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. (‘Alta Vista’ or the ‘Company’) (AVV-CSE, YRLLF-OTC) announces that Mr. George Smitherman has joined its Board of Directors and that Mr. Kim Derry has joined the Company as Senior Advisor – Safety and Security.

Mr. Smitherman had a long successful political career until 2010 when he returned to his pre politics roots as an entrepreneur. He is the founder of three companies and is an advisor to several others. Most recently a candidate for the Mayor of Toronto, Mr. Smitherman has previously been elected three times as a Member of the Provincial Parliament where he served as Ontario’s Deputy Premier, Health Minister, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure as well as many other roles. Over a career spanning almost 25 years Mr. Smitherman has been active in all three levels of government.

Mr. Smitherman’s interest in Medical Marijuana started when he was Ontario’s Health Minister. He has since become a vocal advocate of Medical Marijuana and the legalization of recreational marijuana nationally.

Mr. Kim Derry has had a long distinguished career in law enforcement. Over his 38 year career Mr. Derry has performed uniform, undercover and investigative duties. At the peak of his law enforcement career Mr. Derry was appointed the Deputy Chief of Police for the City of Toronto. He has been responsible for the policing operations in Toronto for 17 divisions, managed in excess of 4,000 personnel and oversaw divisional policing budgets of $490 million.

Mr. Derry’s wide ranging experience in safety and security is a natural fit for the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) environment. He is motivated by the opportunity to reduce the influence of gangs and organized crime through a sensible regulatory regime.

In addition, the Company would like to announce that Mr. Don Shaxon is also joining as Senior Advisor. Mr. Shaxon brings 20 years’ experience in the capital markets including and in the Medical Marijuana sector since 2007. As Corporate development Manager with Cannabis Science Inc., the first public company in North America dedicated to the marijuana industry he helped build the company from a small cap company into an industry leader with a market cap that topped $100 million. Since then he has been involved in a number of public companies and was instrumental in bringing the RedeCan Pharm opportunity to the Company.
