Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Accounting Firm

On May 31, 2018, the Board of Directors of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated the engagement of AJ Robbins CPA, LLC (“AJ Robbins”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.

AJ Robbins’ report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through May 31, 2018, there have been no disagreements with AJ Robbins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to AJ Robbins’ satisfaction, would have caused AJ Robbins to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

Except as set forth below, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 and through May 31, 2018, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. In connection with its audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, AJ Robbins reported the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to the Company’s Board of Directors. The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weakness which the Company identified in its internal control over financial reporting: a lack of segregation of duties. This material weakness has not been corrected.

The Company provided AJ Robbins with a copy of the disclosure contained herein, prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and requested that AJ Robbins furnish the Company a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. AJ Robbins’ letter to the Commission is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm

On May 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed NVS Chartered Accountants Professional Corporation (“NVS”) as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through May 31, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted NVS with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
