This website and practice may use third-party services (such as hosting providers or email systems). These providers may store or process information outside of Canada.

Security of Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including the use of secure platforms and password-protected systems. However, communication via email or online forms may not be fully secure, and you are encouraged to limit sensitive information shared this way.
