Sexual Harassment

The Corporation does not condone and will not tolerate any form of sexual harassment in the workplace. As it has not been defined before, it should be noted that unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment. Sexual harassment also includes conduct that unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile work environment.

Any staff member who believes that a violation of any aspect of this policy has occurred should bring the violation to the attention of the director of human resources. She and the vice president and chief administrative officer and corporate secretary will ensure that the Corporation investigates the complaint and takes appropriate steps to remedy any violation found to have occurred.

No employee will be retaliated against for complaining of harassment and confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible.
