Like other organizations across the country, CNL is closely monitoring the status of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada and around the world, and is taking measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees and the general public. To coordinate this response, CNL has established a Pandemic Planning Committee made up of health and safety representatives and senior executives who are working to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 across our sites and local communities, while ensuring the continuity of our operations and research activities.

While the threat to CNL operations is low at this time, we recognize that COVID-19 continues to spread quickly around the globe and throughout Canadian communities, and we are prepared to adjust our plans as the situation evolves. In the meantime, CNL will continue to follow the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Government of Canada and the provincial health authorities to ensure our COVID-19 prevention measures align with public health directives and protocols.
