During the third quarter of 2021, traffic volumes were higher by approximately 24% as compared to the same period in 2020.  As a result of increased vaccination rates, the Province of Ontario has entered step 3 of re-opening non-essential businesses and schools and further relaxed COVID-19 restrictions.  Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall traffic volumes and revenues, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity and expects to be able to satisfy all of its obligations in 2021.
