Covid-19 Knowledge Center: Weekly Summary - March 16 - 20

COVID-19 has created an unexpected sequence of events of enormous scale and speed, and the resulting uncertainty around potential impacts. In these unprecedented times, information is a valuable resource. To help our clients and business partners navigate this situation, we have centralized all of our COVID-19 related materials and information about webinars into one main Knowledge Centre.

Beginning today, to help you quickly access these materials we will be sending weekly summaries, a snapshot listing the latest bulletins, blogs and other communications. In order to share information with our clients as quickly as possible, many of our bulletins are currently available in English only, however, the French translations will be provided as soon as possible on the COVID-19 Knowledge Centre.
