The principal mandate of the Nova Scotia Securities Commission (NSSC) is to protect Nova Scotia investors. One of the ways we do that is by issuing investor alerts and cautions. You can find all the alerts and cautions we’ve issued for the last nine years on our Investor Alert Database.
To create further awareness concerning the companies and people identified in Alerts and Cautions, our Before You Invest Blog does regular reviews of Alerts throughout the year.
This review looks back at all the Alerts and Cautions issued between December and March. This month we’ve also included some alerts issued by external organizations that are relevant to Nova Scota investors.
