www.chfir.com, e-Newsletter, CHF Spotlight, Social Networking
CHF has invested significant time and resources to have the best client-focused IR website in Canada to display the diversity of our clients.

To further attract attention to our website, and to our clients, we write a newsletter that is sent to about 13,000 brokers in Canada monthly that highlights four CHF clients per issue at no extra charge to those clients featured. A typical client can expect to be featured twice per year.

In 2010, CHF initiated the phase one roll-out of its "social networking" program using LinkedIn Twitter and Slideshare; together referred to as Web 2.0 activity. We have observed that responsible management of messaging on these social network "channels" can be achieved and increase online search optimization, attract new attention from investors, financial professionals, and news media. Phase two, launched in September 2011 added Facebook. Oversight and stages of the roll-out are judiciously handled by our Director of Communications.

Future phases of the roll-out will incorporate a more comprehensive social media platform from which all of CHF’s clients can benefit.
