Corporate governance documents
Professional Centres Canada LP, as a [[regulated-reporting-entity|Regulated Reporting Entity]], is the entity whose governance practices are disclosed here consistent with National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines1 and the related disclosure requirements under National Instrument 58-101.2 WCP itself is a private company and is not directly subject to these instruments; its role is as promoter and as the ultimate parent of Woodfine Professional Centres Inc., the general partner bound by the governance requirements described below. Of the governance instruments named on this page, only the audit committee charter is currently in place; the remaining committee charters and policies described below are planned, not yet adopted or published.
Audit committee
Professional Centres Canada LP has an audit committee charter in place. The committee assists the general partner's board in its oversight of the integrity of financial reporting, the independence and performance of the external auditor, and the adequacy of internal control and risk management processes. The charter specifies:
- Composition requirements (including independence and financial literacy requirements for each committee member)
- Mandate scope: external auditor oversight, financial statement review, internal controls and risk management review, and complaint-handling procedures
- Reporting obligations to the full board
- Meeting frequency and quorum requirements
The audit committee charter is reproduced here for direct accessibility. Professional Centres Canada LP is a venture issuer, a classification that does not carry a mandatory Annual Information Form filing requirement under NI 51-102 — publishing the charter here is a voluntary transparency practice, not evidence of an AIF filing.
Board mandate (planned)
A board mandate is intended to set out the board's responsibilities for strategic oversight, material-risk oversight, senior-management succession planning, and the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls, and to define the boundary between board oversight and day-to-day management authority. This document is not yet adopted.
Compensation committee (planned)
A compensation committee is intended to assist the board in its oversight of compensation philosophy and the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, other senior executives, and non-executive directors. This committee and its charter are not yet in place.
Nominating and governance committee (planned)
A nominating and governance committee is intended to assist the board in identifying qualified board candidates, assessing board and committee composition, and overseeing corporate governance practices. This committee is not yet in place.
Corporate governance policy (planned)
A corporate governance policy is intended to consolidate governance-practice commitments meeting or exceeding the standards established under Canadian securities regulation, addressing board independence, separation of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer roles, board diversity, and director orientation. This policy is not yet adopted.
Code of business conduct (planned)
A code of business conduct is intended to set out ethical standards applicable to directors, officers, employees, and contractors, covering conflicts of interest, confidential information, fair dealing, legal compliance, and concern-reporting procedures. This code is not yet adopted.
Unanimous shareholder agreement
A Unanimous Shareholder Agreement, filed as a material contract, restricts the issuance and transfer of WCP's shares and sets the limits within which the board sets director and executive compensation. A separate, partnership-level instance of this agreement binds Woodfine Professional Centres Inc. — general partner of Professional Centres Canada LP — to a majority of arm's-length, independent directors on its board (see Professional Centres Canada LP structure for the general partner's specific board-composition and quorum requirements).

Beyond the audit committee charter above, no other governance document listed on this page has been adopted yet. This section will list each document, with its adoption date and a direct download, as the board approves and publishes it.
