TORONTO, April 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the COVID-19 crisis continues, it is more important than ever to come together and support each other through these challenging times. With that in mind, Green Shield Canada (GSC) is taking key steps to ease the strain on small and medium-size businesses across the country.
GSC is announcing the following premium reductions for non-refund clients, which will apply to April, May, and June.
