school year, Campbell's LFE program was extremely well received,
with strong growth in new registrants and label deposits. As the
exclusive supplier and manager of Campbell's of Canada LFE since
its inception, Magic Lantern Group will continue to benefit from
our alliance with Campbell's, a global leading brand name. We
