Security in Ontario.
Every province has its own security personality. In Ontario, that means overnight retail break-and-enters in the 905 corridor, cannabis retail proliferation, and class-a tower turnover in downtown toronto. Guardian Shield builds its Ontario program specifically around those realities — not a generic template imported from another market.
