December 19, 2022 — TORONTO, ON — A lot has happened since the last email. Numbers are growing due to raised awareness. Currently, we passed 120 confirmed shop owners and managers from across the country. All sectors are represented. We still need to double that number to get a critical mass so we can get started on actual projects with tangible goals, benchmarks and results.

The first meeting was held for those expressing interest in being part of an advisory group. Twenty five people were invited and more than a dozen showed up. The minutes of the meeting are included below.

As a result of the meeting we now have Regional Reps for most areas of the country. These volunteers have stepped forward to help increase local awareness and bring local concerns to future meetings. There are still areas that need covering so please send a message if you are interested.
