The production of Trade Secrets could not have been possible without the following people, businesses, organizations, and other sources. Not every contributor is listed here. We attempted to ensure that we had permission from every contributor to list their name here. So if we did not hear back, we did not include their names.
If you contributed and your name is not here or if you’d like your name removed from this list, please contact Trina at annie@nakedtruth.ca. Your request will be honoured immediately.
A sincere thank you to everyone, including the names missing from the list. You know who you are.
