Annual territory meetings



       In February, our country territory
       management team held its annual
       meeting. The meeting, which was held
       in Regina, was an opportunity for the
       team to get together and review 2022
       performance in areas such as employee
       health and safety, food safety and
       operational objectives. It also provides
       a good opportunity to discuss strategic
       priorities for the coming year. As part of
       these meetings, recognition is provided
       for territories and individual facilities that
       achieve the strongest performance in key
       business areas. This year, the following
