Coverage Period: 2025
While our previous plan covered calendar years 2017-2024, RBA Canada’s Ontario operations will be moving to a temporary facility for the 2025 calendar year until our new facilities are ready in 2026. Accordingly, this plan is meant to serve as a bridge to our next 5-year plan which will be assessed and adopted starting in 2026.
