Salona Global Medical Device Corporation

3330 Caminito Daniella

Del Mar, California 92014

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re:        Salona Global Medical Device Corporation

We have acted as British Columbia legal counsel to Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (the "Issuer"), a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, in connection with:

1.The issuance by the Issuer (the "Concurrent Salona Financing") of 7,869,005 subscription receipts (the "Salona Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.4749 per Salona Subscription Receipt. Each Salona Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one common share of the Issuer (a "Salona Share") without payment of any additional consideration by the subscriber on the date (the "Escrow Release Date") that is the later of (i) the date of satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Change of Business set forth in the Definitive Agreement (as defined below), (ii) the date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Registration Statement (as defined below) effective.

2.The proposed issuance by the Issuer to certain registered dealers on the Escrow Release Date of 876,231 non-transferable compensation options (the "Salona Compensation Options") as compensation for their services in connection with the Concurrent Salona Financing. Each Salona Compensation Option shall be exercisable to purchase one Salona Share at a price of $0.4749 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Concurrent Salona Financing.

3.The issuance by Brattle Finco B.C. Ltd‎.‎ ("Finco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, of 2,121,232 subscription receipts (the "Finco Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.8548 per Finco Subscription Receipt (the "Concurrent Finco Financing"). Each Finco Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one common share of Finco (a "Finco Share") and one share purchase warrant of Finco (a "Finco Warrant") without payment of any additional consideration by the subscriber on the Escrow Release Date. Each Finco Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Finco Share at a price of $1.25 per share for 24 months from the closing of the Concurrent Finco Financing.

4.The proposed issuance by Finco to certain registered dealers on the Escrow Release Date of 243,675 non-transferable compensation options (the "Finco Compensation Options") as compensation for their services in connection with the Concurrent Finco Financing. Each Finco Compensation Option shall be exercisable to purchase one (1) Finco Share at a price of $0.8548 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Concurrent Finco Financing.

5.The proposed acquisition by the Issuer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of South Dakota Partners, Inc. ("SDP") pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated September 8, 2020 between the Issuer, Brattle Acquireco, SDP, and certain other parties, as sellers (the "Definitive Agreement").

6.The registration by Salona under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on or about the date hereof (the "Registration Statement") of 13,321,375 Salona Shares (the "Registration Shares") further described below. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Registration Statement. All sums of money which are referred to in this Agreement are expressed in lawful money of Canada.

Pursuant to an amalgamation agreement among the Issuer, Finco and 1077863 B.C. Ltd. ("MergerSub") dated April 23, 2021 (the "Amalgamation Agreement"), and as set out in the Subscription Agreements (as defined below), immediately following the completion of the Change of Business and the conversion of the outstanding Finco Subscription Receipts into Finco Shares and Finco Warrants, the Issuer, Finco and MergerSub will complete an amalgamation under Section 269 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Amalgamation") pursuant to which each outstanding Finco Share will be exchanged for one Salona Share, each Finco Warrant will be exchanged for a share purchase warrant of the Issuer exercisable to purchase one Salona Share on the same terms as the Finco Warrant (a "Resulting Issuer Warrant"), and each Finco Compensation Option will be exchanged for a compensation option of the Issuer exercisable to purchase one Salona Share on the same terms as the Finco Compensation Option (an "Exchangeable Compensation Option").

The 13,231,375 Registration Shares are comprised of: (i) 7,869,005 Salona Shares issuable upon exchange of the Salona Subscription Receipts, (ii) 2,121,232 Salona Shares to be issued upon completion of the Amalgamation in exchange for 2,121,232 Finco Shares issuable upon exchange of 2,121,232 Finco Subscription Receipts, (iii) 2,121,232 Salona Shares issuable upon exercise of 2,121,232 Resulting Issuer Warrants to be issued upon completion of the Amalgamation in exchange for 2,121,232 Finco Warrants, (iv) 876,231 Salona Shares issuable upon exercise of the Salona Compensation Options, and (v) 243,675 Salona Shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchangeable Compensation Options to be issued upon completion of the Amalgamation in exchange for the Finco Compensation Options.
