The goal of the program is to improve the completeness, quality and timeliness of continuous disclosure (CD) provided by reporting issuers2 (issuers) in Canada. This program was established to assess the compliance of CD documents with securities laws, including CD rules, and to help issuers understand and comply with their obligations under the CD rules so that investors receive high quality disclosure to assist them in making informed investment decisions. In this Notice, we summarize the key findings and outcomes of the CD Review Program for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 (fiscal 2020) and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 (fiscal 2019). Appendix A - Financial Statement, MD&A and Other Regulatory Deficiencies (Appendix A) describes common deficiencies and includes some disclosure examples to help issuers address these deficiencies and to illustrate our expectations. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19) on the Canadian and global economy and potential impact on issuers’ operating performance, financial position, liquidity and future prospects, Appendix A includes guidance on reporting the impact of COVID-19. For further details on the CD Review Program, see CSA Staff Notice 51-312 (revised) Harmonized Continuous Disclosure Review Program. Results for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 Issuers selected for a CD review (full or issue-oriented review (IOR)) are identified using a risk-based and outcomes-focused approach using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. IORs are focused on a specific accounting, legal or regulatory issue, an emerging issue or industry, implementation of recent rules or areas where we believe there may be a heightened risk of potential investor harm. A review may also stem from general monitoring of our issuers through news releases, media articles, complaints and other sources. During fiscal 2020, a total of 583 CD reviews (fiscal 2019 – 514 CD reviews) were conducted with IORs consisting of 73% of the total (fiscal 2019 - 70%). The nature of an IOR will impact the time spent and outcome obtained from the review. The following charts outline the focus areas of the IORs conducted: 1 This Notice is being published in all jurisdictions except British Columbia. It includes the results of the reviews conducted by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) as a result of its participation in the CD Review Program. The BCSC will advise of their approach after the final provincial interregnum period is over in mid-November. 2 In

  • Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance
    9-803-127 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2010 NANCY F. KOEHN Leadership in Crisis: Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. — Sir Raymond Priestley, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist On January 18, 1915, the ship Endurance, carrying a highly celebrated British polar expedition, froze into the icy waters off the coast of Antarctica. The leader of the expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had planned to sail his boat to the coast through the Weddell Sea, which bounded Antarctica to the north, and then march a crew of six men, supported by dogs and sledges, to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent (see Exhibit 1).1 Deep in the southern hemisphere, it was early in the summer, and the Endurance was within sight of land, so Shackleton still had reason to anticipate reaching shore. The ice, however, was unusually thick for the ship’s latitude, and an unexpected southern wind froze it solid around the ship. Within hours the Endurance was completely beset, a wooden island in a sea of ice. More than eight months later, the ice still held the vessel. Instead of melting and allowing the crew to proceed on its mission, the ice, moving with ocean currents, had carried the boat over 670 miles north.2 As it moved, the ice slowly began to soften, and the tremendous force of distant currents alternately broke apart the floes—wide plateaus made of thousands of tons of ice—and pressed them back together, creating rift lines with huge piles of broken ice slabs.

  • History of Antarctica - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 13
    History of Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 13 Coordinates: 67°15′S 39°35′E History of Antarctica From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the natural history of the Antarctic continent, see Antarctica. The history of Antarctica emerges from early Western theories of a vast continent, known as Terra Australis, believed to exist in the far south of the globe. The term Antarctic, referring to the opposite of the Arctic Circle, was coined by Marinus of Tyre in the 2nd century AD. The rounding of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn in the 15th and 16th centuries proved that Terra Australis Incognita ("Unknown Southern Land"), if it existed, was a continent in its own right. In 1773 James Cook and his crew crossed the Antarctic Circle for the first time but although they discovered nearby islands, they did not catch sight of Antarctica itself. It is believed he was as close as 150 miles from the mainland. In 1820, several expeditions claimed to have been the first to have sighted the ice shelf or the continent. A Russian expedition was led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev, a British expedition was captained by Edward Bransfield and an American sealer Nathaniel Palmer participated. The first landing was probably just over a year later when American Captain John Davis, a sealer, set foot on the ice. Several expeditions attempted to reach the South Pole in the early 20th century, during the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration'. Many resulted in injury and death. Norwegian Roald Amundsen finally reached the Pole on December 14, 1911, following a dramatic race with the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott.

  • The Race to the Pole Read About 12 Key Events in Antarctica’S Discovery and Exploration
    The race to the Pole Read about 12 key events in Antarctica’s discovery and exploration. Red dots on the map show where they took place. Decide what you think are the five most important of these events. Use the co-ordinates to find the matching red dots for each on the map. Use arrows and words to label captions on your map to describe your five most important moments in Antarctica’s history. Compare your map with your neighbour – have you chosen the same events? The race to the Pole 1 Need help with using the co-ordinates? On a world map or globe, latitude lines run horizontally. Think of them like rungs of a ladder – ‘ladder-tude’! Meanwhile, lines of longitude run vertically, like segments in an orange. To make sense of the latitude number you need to start from the equator, which is 00. To the north, they are numbered degrees North until you reach 900 North at the North Pole. To the south, they are numbered degrees South until you reach 900 South at the South Pole (the centre of this map). The race to the Pole 2 Location Date Information A 70 SOUTH UK Captain James Cook 106 WEST 1773 and his crew were the first people to cross the Antarctic Circle, although they never saw Antarctica itself.
