Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of our financial position, results of operation and operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other circumstances. All statements in this Annual Information Form and the documents incorporated herein by reference, other than statements of historical facts, may constitute forward-looking information, including, but not limited to, statements concerning management’s current expectations relating to possible or assumed future prospects and results, the Company’s strategic goals and priorities, its actions and the results of those actions, and the economic and business outlook for the Company. Often but not always, forward- looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “estimate”, “plan”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “outlook”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “foresee”, “continue” or the negative of these terms, variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable at the date that such statements are made. By its very nature, forward-looking information requires the Company to make assumptions and is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that the Company’s assumptions may not be correct and that the Company’s expectations and plans will not be achieved. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking information in this Annual Information Form and the documents incorporated herein by reference are based on information and assumptions which are current, reasonable and complete, this information is necessarily subject to a number of factors that could, for a variety of reasons, cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations and plans as set forth in such forward-looking information. Some of the factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, include (a) credit, market, currency, operational, liquidity and funding risks, including changes in economic conditions, interest rates or tax rates; (b) the ability of the Company to attract and retain high quality employees, Associate Dealers, Canadian Tire Petroleum agents, PartSource, Mark’s Work Wearhouse Ltd., and FGL Sports Ltd. store operators and franchisees, as well as the Company’s financial arrangements with such parties; (c) the growth of certain business categories and market segments and the willingness of customers to shop at the Company’s stores or acquire the Company’s financial products and services; (d) the Company’s margins and sales and those of its competitors; (e) risks and uncertainties relating to information management, technology, supply chain management, product safety, changes in law, competition, seasonality, commodity prices and business disruption, the Company’s relationships with suppliers and manufacturers, changes to existing accounting pronouncements, the risk of damage to the reputation of brands promoted by the Company and the cost of store network expansion and retrofits; and (f) the Company’s capital structure, funding strategy, cost management programs and share price. The key risks and uncertainties, and the material factors and assumptions applied in preparing forward-looking information, that could cause actual results to differ materially from predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Information Form and also in the following sections of the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 29, 2012: sections 7.5.1.2 (Retail segment business risks) and 7.5.2.2 (Financial Services segment business risks) and all subsections thereunder.

  • The Loyalty Trap
    The Loyalty Trap 2017 | Stephen Shaw Ever since reward programs first became popular over fifty years ago, marketers have been trapped into thinking that customer loyalty can be bought. But customers today are looking for more than just rewards – they want to be treated honestly and fairly. She jokingly refers to it as her “hobby”. Every weekend, before heading out to shop, she scans the grocery and drug store flyers in search of deals. But she’s not looking for ordinary coupons and discounts – she’s searching for Air Miles offers. She is an avid points collector, hooked on earning miles, and loves to play the loyalty game: taking advantage of bonus miles and special promotions, just so she can cash them in for free trips. A typical calculation might go something like this: “Robaxacet Platinum gets me 10 miles for buying two. But that’s still pretty expensive. If I wait for the drug store’s standard deal – spend a total of $50 to get 100 miles – am I further ahead?” She works diligently at collecting those miles – so diligently in fact that when Air Miles occasionally bungles a transaction by failing to award her the right number of miles, she’s instantly on the phone to them, The coalition program Air Miles demanding a correction. Of course, whenever she has dominates loyalty marketing in Canada to wait longer than necessary “due to unexpected call with 9 million “collectors” volume”, which is much of the time, her indignation grows by the minute. Even more bothersome: the ordeal she has to go through to redeem those hard-earned miles.

  • Dear Valued Customer, I Know That for Many Canadians, the Last Few Days
    Dear valued customer, I know that for many Canadians, the last few days have heightened feelings of concern and uncertainty around COVID-19. Right now, we are focused on how we can continue to serve our communities in this time of need, while also being part of the solution. We have made the decision to close all of our non-essential retail banners across Canada until April 2, 2020. This includes our Mark’s/L’Équipeur, SportChek, Atmosphere, Party City, Pro Hockey Life, National Sports and PartSource stores. Customers can continue to shop across our family of companies online. We know that for many employees, store closures can lead to financial stress – please note that during the closure period our full and part-time employees will be paid. At this time, our Canadian Tire Retail stores will remain open, but with reduced hours. Our Canadian Tire Retail stores are doing everything they can to deliver on the essential products Canadians need. We are committed to doing our best to continue helping you navigate through this challenge, and this includes providing the essential products, while protecting the health and well-being of our employees and customers. Please check with your local Canadian Tire store for updated hours of operation. You can of course shop Canadian Tire online at canadiantire.ca by using our click-and-collect or deliver-to-home options.
