Policies, Procedures and Due Diligence

Attached is our Policy on Forced and Child Labour, our Supplier Code of Conduct included in our Purchase Orders and the Supplier Declaration forwarded to major Suppliers.

Given that our work is in Canada, that most of our employees are Unionized, and products purchased and used are Canadian made or purchased from targe Canadian businesses who themselves must ward against supply chains which carry a risk of child/forced labour there is little risk that parts of our business and supply chains carry a risk of forced labour or child labour. The businesses we engage in are also not traditional businesses which carry an increased risk of child or forced labour such as clothing manufacturing or farming.

We have not identified any forced labour or child labour in our supply chain, so we have not taken any measures to remediate forced labour or child labour.

We have not identified any measure resulting in loss of income to the most vulnerable families, so we have not taken any steps to ameliorate this loss.

Training provided includes training to those who oversee the Divisions and purchasing about forced and child labour law and our Policies as well as the executive Team. Training is approximately one hour in length. Employees receiving/received the training number 15.

We have not undertaken assessment of the effectiveness of these actions in in ensuring that forced labour and child labour are not being used in our business and supply chains.
