We expect our current long-term Canadian investors to gain considerable value and benefit from ITG's representation as we work to grow our shareholder base across North America and beyond," continued MacPherson.

"Our appointment of ITG is a strategic complement to our Canadian-based management team members, including our retaining Adelaide Capital, an established investor relations firm in Canada, and leadership provided by our new CFO and Director. Strongly entrenched in Canada, we anticipate realizing significant value for our shareholders across North America as we continue to grow our business in other markets and introduce new environmental technologies," concluded MacPherson.
