Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re: Salona Global Medical Device Corporation - ‎2021 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan ‎- Registration Statement on Form S-8

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Salona Global Medical Device Corporation ("Salona"), a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of ‎British Columbia, in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Salona with the ‎Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the ‎issuance by Salona of common shares without par value (the "Shares") upon exercise of options  ("Options") outstanding and to be granted under the 2021 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of Salona Medical Device Corporation, effective as of May 21, 2021 (the "Plan"). Our opinion expressed herein is delivered in connection with the ‎Registration Statement to which this letter appears as an exhibit.‎

We have examined the Registration Statement and the Plan, which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the ‎Registration Statement. We have also examined the originals, or duplicate, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies, of ‎such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have considered ‎necessary or relevant for the purposes of our opinion. With respect to the accuracy of factual matters material to our opinion, we have ‎relied upon certificates of public officials and representatives of Salona.‎

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of ‎all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as ‎duplicates, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.‎

Our opinion expressed herein is rendered solely with respect to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of ‎Canada applicable therein.‎

Based and relying upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the ‎opinion that Shares, up to an amount authorized by Salona under the Plan as at the date of our opinion, issued upon the valid exercise of Options granted in accordance with the terms of the Plan, ‎including, in each case, receipt by Salona of payment in full for the Shares in respect of which such Options are exercised, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.‎

We hereby consent to the use of our name in, and the filing of this letter as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement. In providing such ‎consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.‎

Yours very truly,
