Based on our records, we do not have any current employees working from Iqaluit, NU. We want to be transparent about this, as it raises questions about the context of this review. That said, any concerns raised — around management conduct and equitable practices in hiring — are ones we take seriously regardless of their source. We are committed to fostering a fair, inclusive, and respectful workplace, and we do not tolerate discrimination or the protection of harmful behaviours based on performance. If anyone has witnessed or experienced behaviour that doesn't reflect our values, we strongly encourage them to report it through our whistleblower hotline, called “Speak Up,” which allows for anonymous and confidential reporting. All submissions are reviewed and taken seriously. We appreciate the feedback on compensation and benefits, and we remain committed to doing right by our people.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, and also for your constructive feedback. We hear you on updates to legacy code, and tackling this challenge is a priority in 2026 alongside several other exciting projects which we believe will materially improve our offering for teachers and students.
