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.
