The health and safety of our associates, customers and communities is our number one priority at all times. We are taking a number of measures to protect associates at work, including but not limited to:

• Installing plexiglass at our registers.
• Mapping out social distancing parameters prior to entering and throughout our stores.
• We have implemented health checks at our stores and distribution centres and are asking our associates who are not feeling well to stay home and get well.
• Ensuring all associates have access to PPE as well as hand sanitizer.
• Implementation of a number of different policies and process both on the sales floor and in the employee areas of our stores.

Giant Tiger is a people first organization. This has always been who we are and is who we will continue to be. Our priority at all times is the health and safety of our people, both in our stores and within our communities.

If a member of the Giant Tiger team tests positive for COVID-19 we will:

• Work with and follow the direction of the public health authority.
• Ensure our store are subject to a strict deep-clean and sanitization process.
• Notify all staff who require self-isolation and or self-monitoring for two weeks.
• We will ensure that our customer care team is able to answer customer questions and provide accurate and timely information to our valued customers.
• We will ensure that our store franchise and staff are fully informed and supported during this process.

Some stores are limiting quantities on high demand items to ensure there are products available for the most customers possible.

We recognize the important role we have as an essential service and we recognize that our communities count on us to deliver that service in a healthy and safe environment for all.
