We briefly paused this final round, originally set for March 27th, when we were approached by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) to clarify some details to ensure we were in compliance with local regulations.
We worked hand-in-hand with the BCSC to achieve legal certainty, and we are so pleased and excited to be ready to proceed.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you — our community — for contributing to the success of those rounds and for your unwavering support during this delay. It has really assured us that we are all in this project for the ‘right’ reasons, which will benefit the long term health of a dense and robust network.
