Happy New Year!

We are pleased to share that, as of January 1, 2026, the Canada Grocery Code is fully implemented, and the Dispute Resolution Management Process (DRMP) is now operational. This milestone represents an important step forward in strengthening fairness, transparency, and predictability across the grocery supply chain.

All major national retailers, Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd., Empire Company Limited, Loblaw Inc., Metro Inc., and Wal‑Mart Canada Corp, have formally registered with the OGSCC, joining more than 150 retailers and suppliers who are already members.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to you for your early commitment and leadership in supporting the development and adoption of the Code. Your participation has been essential to achieving this level of implementation and sector-wide momentum.
