“I understand the difficulty today’s challenges presents to my trainers, staff and volunteers,” said Mr. Tyson. “That is why I believe following a guideline to do so safely and wisely is paramount. It gives myself and my family the confidence to work with no doubt that we are investing with our eyes wide open and not simply rolling the dice and gambling with our well-being,” says Mr. Tyson. “I used to say that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth – but now that enemy is invisible and I’m not taking any chances.”

QuestCap also announces the appointment of Wen Ye as a director of the company.  Ms. Ye is a CPA, CGA and holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Laurentian University.
