Hudson's Bay reaches deals to sell leases for six of its store locations
Social Sharing Hudson's Bay has reached deals to sell the leases of six store locations, as legal wrangling continues on work to close a deal to sell up to 25 leases to B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu. Legal filings show clothing retailer YM Inc., which owns brands such as Urban Planet, Bluenotes, West49 and Suzy Shier, has struck a deal to buy five leases for $5.03 million. The documents show it was unable to secure landlord approvals for three other locations. The five leases include Vaughan Mills in Vaughan, Ont., Tanger Outlets in Kanata, Ont., Outlet Collection in Winnipeg, CrossIron Mills near Calgary, and Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills, Ont. YM had also sought to buy leases in Pickering, Ont., Saskatoon and a location in Edmonton for $1 million, but landlord waivers weren't secured for those properties. Separately, Ivanhoe Realties Inc. has agreed to pay $20,000 for a lease at Metrotown in Burnaby, B.C., that its parent company Ivanhoe Cambridge owns. The deals, which require court approval before any leases can be transferred, mark the Bay's latest attempt at recouping money for its lenders and hundreds of creditors who are owed almost $1 billion collectively. Hudson's Bay put its leases up for sale earlier this year, after it filed for creditor protection and closed its 80 stores and 16 under its sister Saks banners. A dozen bidders made offers on a total of 39 properties. One of the bidders who wanted those spaces was Liu. WATCH | B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu shares her vision for former Hudson's Bay locations: B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu shares her vision for former Hudson's Bay locations 18 days ago B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu is hoping to expand her mall empire by taking over 28 former Hudson's Bay retail space leases. She joined CBC's Gloria Macarenko with a translator to share her vision for the department stores, in her first interview with English-language media in Canada. She paid $6 million for three leases at malls she owns — Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo, Mayfair Shopping Centre in Victoria and Tsawwassen Mills in Delta. That deal got court approval last month and the leases were transferred back to Liu. Liu was also chosen by the Bay to buy 25 other leases. Landlords are fighting that sale because they say she has not filed a business plan that is credible or realistic. Court filings show Hudson's Bay is looking for more time to close the YM and Ivanhoe transactions, seek approval of the Liu deal and conduct an auction of art holdings, among other measures aimed at maximizing returns to stakeholders. It's seeking an extension of creditor protection from the July 31 deadline to Oct. 31 to complete the efforts.

Ontario betting big on biomass in northwestern region
Northwestern Ontario's biomass sector is getting a significant boost from the provincial government, to the tune of $6.2 million. Thunder Bay's Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy (CRIBE) will be receiving $5 million of the funding to go toward advancing research and development of forest based products. The announcement was made on Friday amidst heaps of lumber shavings at the Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper mill. The funding is part of the Ontario government's Forest Biomass Action Plan. "Our government's forest biomass program is developing this valuable resource through targeted investments, increasing Ontario's use of forest biomass, byproducts and related technologies," said Kevin Holland, MPP for Thunder Bay-Atikokan and the province's associate minister of forestry and forest products. Biomass development has received increased attention across Canada over the past few years, largely due to its potential as an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. "The technologies and the product development that we support feeds into automotive, chemical, housing, energy and so much more," said Scott Jackson, CRIBE's CEO, at the press conference. Jackson says the research centre is currently exploring the conversion of woody biomass into liquid fuels. CRIBE is one of eight projects receiving funding from the province. Thunder Bay's century old Pulp and Paper mill will also be receiving $87,500 towards designing upgrades to its sludge procession, fibre recovery and boiler systems, according to a press release distributed at the announcement. "We have trace amounts of lime and, you know, useful products that rather than going to a landfill we can reclaim through sludge processing and we can utilize them on farm fields and in other ways," said Bill MacPherson, CEO of Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper. He adds that for any log that is processed for lumber, roughly 15 to 20 percent of it is converted to wood chips that likely will go to the landfill. "We could turn that into pulp, useful products, along with green energy." The mill's funding builds on the $5 million dollars it received last year from the province to modernize its electrical system, namely through improving the efficiency of its green power generation infrastructure. Thunder Bay's current acting mayor Dominic Pasqualino says the forestry sector has long been a cornerstone in northwestern Ontario's regional economy, and any investments in the sector are beneficial to the region as a whole. Other companies that received funding this year include White River Forest Products in White River and Biopower in Atikokan, Ont. Four Nirst Nations in the region are also receiving funding towards biomass fuel conversion, wood storage and merchandising, and development of forestry practices. "Through this funding, our community has been able to undertake several critical studies and purchase much needed equipment for a biomass heating project," said Chief Paul Gladu, of Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek, also known as Sand Point First Nation. He says the heat provided from biomass will lower electricity costs for members of his community. Why biomass? Biomass includes wood shavings and waste, dead trees and other plant matter that can be used to generate heat, contribute to the making of more sustainable building materials, and even help develop renewable fuels. Increasingly, provinces and territories have been encouraging the use of biomass as a way to clean up their power grids. In March, Nova Scotia's government made regulatory changes to Nova Scotia Power, requiring the utility to use 160 gigawatt hours of biomass annually until 2027. Meanwhile, government officials and researchers in the Northwest Territories have been advocating for the use of biomass to help the territory ween off its reliance on diesel. Not all environmental advocates are on board with the use of biomass as a green alternative. In 2020, research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the burning of wood contributed as much carbon emission as coal and even more than natural gas. Biomass as a fuel for the future? Biomass remains highly sought after in Europe, as researchers look for ways to convert it into reusable fuels for futher automation, and to power vehicles. "We're seeing European markets that are demanding a certain level of renewable biofuels," Jackson said. Last year, Irish renewable energy company Simply Blue announced plans for a multi-billion dollar project in Nova Scotia that would look to convert wood chips, alongside solar and wind, into jet fuel. Meanwhile, Canadian renewable fuel manufactuers SustainAgro Ltd. announced plans in 2023 to open a facility in Prince Edward Island to convert biomass into renewable diesel.

‘A brand new day for tenants:' Toronto's rental bylaw takes effect next week. Here is what you need to know
Posters from Toronto's ad campaign notifying citizens of the new rental bylaw. (Credit: City of Toronto) A new Toronto bylaw to protect tenants from what Mayor Olivia Chow is calling 'bogus' renovictions officially goes into effect next week. The bylaw, which was overwhelmingly approved by Toronto City Council in November, would work to combat what Chow says are 'bad faith' evictions by putting the onus on landlords to prove why a unit needs to be emptied while renovations take place. 'Every time I'm out in the streets I hear of tenants being evicted for bogus excuses,' Chow said during a press conference at Toronto City Hall on Friday highlighting the new bylaw. 'Well actually, the real reason for the eviction in some cases is that the landlord can then find new tenants and raise the rent significantly.' The new bylaw comes into effect on July 31. Here is what you need to know about renovictions and how the city is hoping to combat them: What is a 'renoviction?' There are two types of evictions in Ontario - behavior and no fault. Behaviour evictions are for things like failing to pay rent or following the terms of a lease. But a landlord can evict a tenant for two other main reasons - if they want to move themselves or a member of their immediate family into the property, or if they want to renovate the property. Renovating the property often gives the landlord the opportunity to significantly hike what they charge tenants beyond what is allowed under Ontario's rent control legislation, many tenant advocates argue. That legislation otherwise applies to most rental units in Ontario with the exception of newer units that were occupied for the first time after 2018. In 2025, the maximum that landlords were allowed to increase rent without seeking an exemption from the province for an above guideline increase was 2.5 per cent. Chow said that 'too often landlords try to take advantage of tenants who may not fully understand their legal rights.' She said that in some cases landlords are held accountable for unnecessary evictions and can face significant fines but in many other cases get away with it. 'For many tenants, this renoviction bylaw will prevent them from being wrongfully, illegally evicted from their homes,' Chow said. 'A brand new day for tenants,' city officials say Under the new bylaw, landlords 'will have to prove' that the unit needs to be empty for any potential renovations. They would do so by applying for a rental renovation licence at city hall, with that application having to be submitted within seven days of giving formal notice to tenants. As part of that process, they will be expected submit a report 'from a qualified person identifying that the renovation or maintenance work is so extensive that the tenant must leave the unit,' as well as a plan to either compensate the tenant or provide them with alternate accommodations during the renovations. They would also have to provide moving allowances to impacted tenants and agree to provide them with some form of 'severance compensation' in cases where they choose not to return to the unit after the work is complete. The city will also charge landlords a $700 application fee to cover its administrative costs. 'What's fair is if a landlord really does need to take out all the walls and change all the HVAC than that's fair that you would have to leave your apartment,' Coun. Paula Fletcher explained. 'For such a long time it's been very unfair and stacked against tenants.' But Fletcher said if a landlord just wants 'to get a tenant out in order to raise the rent and you don't need to do those things then that's unfair.' Under the previous system, all landlords had to do in order to evict a tenant for renovations was issue them what is called a N13 notice, provide them adequate notice and provide them with a right of first refusal to move back in once the renovations are complete. If the tenant wanted to fight the eviction, they would have to take their case to Ontario's Landlord Tenant Board. 'There you are wondering what you're going to do next, trying to fight the landlord tenant board by yourself, well the rescue is here,' Fletcher said to tenants. To landlords Fletcher said, 'the renovictions bylaw means that fairness will be the very baseline of everything that happens. You will have to prove that you really need that apartment empty.' What does a renoviction look like? Around Toronto there is 'story after story of people being illegally, unlawfully evicted to no fault of their own,' said Michael Cuadra the Co-Chair of the Western Chapter of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Yaroslava Montenegro, the Executive Director of the Federation of Metro Tenants, discussed her family's near-renoviction story as part of the bylaw announcement today. 'During the pandemic my parent's landlord demanded to remodel the upstairs plumbing through our washroom ceiling. My father at the time was in the ICU trying to survive COVID, my mother barely survived at home,' she said. When the landlord came back later with an eviction notice, Montenegro and her mother had no choice but to let the renovation happen. 'By the time that we let them in to avoid the eviction, my father had passed. We pleaded with the landlord to postpone the construction as he had passed just a day or two earlier but they went ahead anyway.' 'July 31 marks four years and a day since my father passed. It also marks when the renoviction bylaw comes into effect. I think there's some poetic justice in that.' Montenegro praised her building's tenancy organization who she said, 'fought tooth and nail to keep people housed in our building because we were not the only ones dealing with this issue.' Not everyone every renter has that same support network, as CP24 covered back in July 2024. Some of the high, or rather low lights, including two renovictions back-to-back, trying to navigate Toronto's notorious housing market, and a 72-year-old senior citizen having to come out of retirement to pay their rent.
