Isn't autumn fun? In Calgary it seems we don't have fall as much as we have days of summer increasingly interspersed with days of winter. It makes me want to look back on the best of the summer.


 

Cheers,

June 19, 2014 - Governance Studio releases the results of its scan of gender diversity disclosure at TSX 60 companies.

 

Our key objective in identifying leaders in diversity disclosure and programming was to assist other Canadian reporting issuers to address the Ontario Securities Commission's new disclosure rules, expected out later this year. We also hope that this information will encourage organizations to respond proactively to stakeholder concerns through transparent disclosure and improvements to their own gender diversity programs.
