VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 1, 2021 / Toby Chu, Chairman and CEO of CIBT Education Group Inc. (TSX:MBA)(OTCQX:MBAIF) ("CIBT" or the "Company"), has issued a statement in response to a news article recently published about the ongoing development and delays of the Atmosphere Project in Richmond, B.C.

"In March 2018, CIBT's subsidiary, Global Education City (Richmond) Limited Partnership, purchased two of the seven buildings to be constructed at the Atmosphere Project," said Toby Chu. "Please refer to the Company's news release of April 3, 2019 for an overview of the Atmosphere Project: https://cibt.net/blog/2019/04/03/cibt-provides-update-global-education-city-richmond-2/.

"While it is unfortunate that the developer has been unable to meet its construction schedule, CIBT plans to take all actions open to it so that the Atmosphere Project can fulfill its original purpose," continued Mr. Chu. "We see excellent opportunities in Vancouver's booming real estate market and the Atmosphere Project has many positive attributes and could become another flagship project for CIBT's subsidiary, Global Education City Holdings Inc."

The Company expects to provide additional information about the status of the Atmosphere Project in the coming weeks.
