For more information, please contact Osler’s Corporate Governance group. 2 DIVERSITY DISCLOSURE PRACTICES Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt llp Introduction The diversity discussion blossomed this year, with continued, slow growth in the advancement of women accompanied by an expanded focus into other facets of diversity. This year new disclosure requirements under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) broadened the range of corporations required to provide disclosure regarding women in leadership positions and added new requirements for disclosure regarding visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities. Our sixth annual comprehensive report on diversity disclosure practices now covers disclosure by TSX-listed companies and CBCA corporations subject to disclosure requirements. We continue to provide detailed disclosure on TSX-listed companies to provide year-over-year comparisons. However, we now include new chapters summarizing the results of our review of CBCA company disclosure.

Although I assumed Interim CEO responsibilities late in 2016, in my previous role as CFO I was fortunate to be extensively involved in all aspects of Big Rock’s business. 2016 was a pivotal year in refocusing our efforts to becoming a more consumer-driven company, which we believe is fundamental to the financial success of Big Rock. We increased brand awareness in Ontario with the opening of our Etobicoke brewery in September and our Liberty Village tasting room in December, and started 2017 with the launch of the Liberty Commons restaurant in January. These sites provide fresh made-in-market beer and new opportunities to experience the Big Rock brand first-hand for consumers in the Toronto area.

Many of us have felt the severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic whether its through financial uncertainty linked to job loss or forced business closures and restrictions; mental health impacts as our ability to have personal connection with friends and family have been limited; or having to experience the terrible loss of losing a loved one. As we look forward to 2021, there is a new sense of optimism as the rapid development and deployment of vaccines will hopefully see this chapter in human history soon come to a close.
