We will make this FAQ specific to each location. So it won't include all of them, but we should be able to incorporate this language. We were planning to have specific language for Calgary and Montreal and link to the blogs, so this is very helpful. I'll talk to the team about it today but I'm including them all here so we have it in our files.
