Advisory
• The Corporation occasionally makes forward-looking statements about its objectives, operations and targeted financial results. These statements may be written or verbal and may be included in such things as press releases, corporate presentations, Annual Reports and other disclosure documents and communications. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the strength of the Canadian economy in general and the strength of local economies within Canada in which we conduct operations; the effect of changes in interest rates; the effects of competition in the markets in which we operate; capital market fluctuations; and the impact of changes in laws and regulations. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider these factors and other uncertainties or potential events. The Corporation makes no undertaking to update any forward-looking statement that is made from time to time by the Corporation.

The Challenges
