Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - May 04, 2020 - Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR) (CNSX:BLR.CN) (Frankfurt:0JJ) (OTC:BLRZF) (the "Corporation" or "Blackhawk"), is pleased to support Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Government in its initiative to allocate $240 million to virtual health and antibody testing. Blackhawk, as well as the Canadian Government, see this as the future of Canadian healthcare. Providing direct at home access to medical practitioners is not only a needed innovation but will also increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Canadian healthcare system. Blackhawk looks forward to updating investors on the implementation of its own telemedicine platform www.talktodoc.ca and other developments on the cutting edge of this newly realized industry.
On May 3, 2020, the Canadian Government announced it will spend more than $240 million to make it easier for mental health and other medical services to take place online. The funding will go towards new platforms for mental health care, primary care, and expansions of virtual care supports.
"If we can use apps to order dinner and video chats to stay in touch with family - we can use new technology to keep each other healthy," said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an announcement on May 3, 2020.
"Telemedicine is set to become part of every Canadians life" says Frederick Pels, CEO of Blackhawk. "The benefits apply to not only today's difficulties but solve a multitude of pre-existing healthcare roadblocks. Canada has so many remote communities and an ageing population. Telemedicine is the solution and it's here to stay. I look forward to staying on the forefront of the telemedicine industry and keeping our shareholders updated with our further progress over the coming months."
In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has launched a new website. Investors and interested parties can find it here: www.blackhawkgrowth.com

I am excited to showcase our vision and our growth plans over the coming months with our shareholders."
