The Nutrition North Canada program is a Federal Government initiative intended to subsidize the high cost of essential grocery and non-grocery items in Canada’s northern communities. Northern retailers, including The North West Company, receive funding through the program (the “Subsidy”), which they are contractually obligated to pass on to consumers.

This proposed class action alleges that The North West Company and its subsidiaries unlawfully retained millions of dollars of the Subsidy, despite representing that it was using the whole Subsidy to reduce food prices for northern consumers as required by the program.

The allegations in the Plaintiffs’ Statement of Claim have not been tried in court.

JFK Law LLP and Siskinds LLP represent the Plaintiffs. Further information on the Plaintiffs’ Claim is available here: https://nutritionnorthclassaction.com/
