Create Account The Canadian Museum of History announced Wednesday that the Weston family, of Loblaw Cos. Ltd. fame, wants to buy the document and donate it to the Quebec institution. The charter was signed by King Charles II in 1670. It gave the Bay rights to a vast swath of land spanning most of Canada and extraordinary power over trade and Indigenous relations for decades more. The museum says the acquisition still needs court approval but if that is obtained, the Westons will donate the document immediately and permanently. 'At a time when Canada is navigating profound challenges and seeking renewed unity, it is more important than ever that we hold fast to the symbols and stories that define us as a nation,' said Galen Weston in a statement.

Our goal is to ensure it is preserved with care, shared with integrity, and made accessible to all Canadians, especially those whose histories are deeply intertwined with its legacy.' His family made its fortune through Canadian retail chains including Holt Renfrew, as well as several European department stores. As part of its proposed purchase of the charter, the museum said the family has offered additional funding to support 'a meaningful consultation process' with Indigenous Peoples on how the Royal Charter 'can be shared, interpreted and contextualized in a manner that respects Indigenous perspectives and historical experiences.'

Caroline Dromaguet, the museum's president and CEO, said the donation is of 'enormous importance to Canada' and 'will serve as a catalyst for national dialogue, education and reconciliation for generations to come.' Read More The Westons expressed an interest in buying the charter after the Bay filed for creditor protection in March under the weight of $1.1 billion in debt. The company later liquidated and closed all 96 stores under the Bay and Saks Canada banners. It got permission from a judge in April to work with auction house Heffel Gallery to sell 2,700 artifacts and 1,700 art pieces the retailer owned, including the charter.

The move sparked concern from archival institutions, governments and Indigenous groups, including the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, which all worried it would allow pieces of Canadian and Indigenous history to wind up in private hands and away from public view. Hudson's Bay hasn't held its auction nor released a full catalogue of items that will be available, though it has allowed groups to view an inventory of the collection if they sign non-disclosure agreements. A source familiar with the Bay's collection, who was not authorized to speak publicly, told The Canadian Press previously that paintings, point blankets, paper documents and even collectible Barbie dolls are part of the trove. Historians believe the charter is likely the most coveted piece the retailer owned. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's 100 per cent their crown jewel,' said Cody Groat, a historian of Canadian and Indigenous history who serves as the chair of the UNESCO Memory of the World Advisory Committee in an April interview. 'There is no doubt this is the most significant document that the Hudson's Bay Company has access to or that they've ever produced.' Thomas Caldwell, CEO of Toronto investment manager Urbana Corp., agreed. He told The Canadian Press in the spring that he was interested in purchasing and giving the parchment document with a royal wax seal to a museum. At the time, he said donating the piece would 'make more sense' for whoever buys it because 'it's a big hassle to have something historic like that in an office or in a home.' He speculated that it would need to be insured, have constant security and likely require storage in precise temperatures to preserve it.

For many years, the Bay kept the royal charter at its head office in Toronto, though it was temporarily loaned to the Manitoba Museum in 2020. That museum and the Archives of Manitoba hold the bulk of the Bay's artifacts. The company donated them to the organizations in the 1990s, so many thought they'd be a natural home for the charter. 'We know exactly where it belongs in our system,' Kathleen Epp, keeper of Manitoba's Hudson's Bay Co. archives, told The Canadian Press in April. 'We think of (the charter) as part of our records in a way already because … we've got the rest of the story and so we feel like it makes sense for the charter to be here and to be as publicly accessible as any of the other records.'

I tried adding a mascara fan brush into my routine

Take it from someone who has not been dealing with the indignities of raccoon eyes and smudging for the past three years: there comes a time when mascara-coated strands hold appeal again. For some, it arises upon one too many viewings of The Buccaneers , where exquisite updos and radiant skin is perfectly complemented by delicate, barely-there flutters. Or perhaps after spying the gorgeously separated lengths at the Marc Jacobs 2026 runway presentation; a sublime smokey eye configuration dreamt up by the incomparable Pat McGrath. Either way, as a past lash extension advocate, I am here to assert that a turning point does occur. And so, it becomes necessary to ask: what can a person do to up their mascara game in this day and age? The answer, it seems, lies not in formula or skill set but in the right applicator. Enter: the mascara fan brush. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rose Siard (@roseandben) Often distinguishable by its bent angle and stiff bristles, the mascara fan brush is designed to capture and deposit super-fine formulas onto an individual's visage. Its unique flat shape and sparse feathering facilitates this, where it is able to create the illusion of hair-like strokes. In short? It allows for the crafting of subtle and intricate make-up detailing that can be impossible to achieve otherwise. As someone looking to score a natural yet defined lash look, the mascara fan brush felt like a necessary addition to my regime. The goal of this experiment? To see if I am able to avoid the spidery, indie sleaze-leaning type of aesthetic that I am, unfortunately, most familiar with. After some consideration and a thorough perusing of the options available, I opt for the Kevyn Aucoin Angled Fan Mascara Brush. According to its website, this bad boy is specifically designed with dual-fiber tips that deliver on a precise, clump-free application while also lifting lashes. Sounds right up my alley. Put to the test The first thing I notice is how easily it picks up just the right amount of product. My mascara of choice: the Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl, which touts itself as lengthening, volumising, and smudge-proof—the holy trinity amongst mascara enthusiasts. The slight dip in the brush angle also means you can comfortably rest it against your cheekbone during application, which makes for a lot less shaking and quivering throughout the process. It takes three passes before I can actually see the formula being layered on, but unlike with a traditional mascara spoolie, each coat goes on smooth and clean. No clumps in sight. The result Picture full, separated lashes that will have people second-guessing if you're wearing anything at all. I find it particularly effective for short and sparse lower lashes, where it is able to dispense a carefully allotted amount that leads to minimal smudging throughout the day. And while it certainly adds to the duration of your make-up routine, I'd say it's a trade-off that's definitely worthwhile. Shop the story: BUY NOW
