VIRTUAL MEETING

This year again, the Corporation held its Meeting as a virtual only meeting, where all Shareholders regardless of geographic location had an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting. The virtual-only format for the Meeting also helped to mitigate health and safety risks to the community, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders in light of the current continuing COVID-19 environment. The Meeting audio webcast is available on WSP’s website in the “Investors” section.
