The Canadian Depository for Securities notified us of the changes to their operating schedule as a result of Family Day in Alberta and President’s Day in the U.S. 

Monday, February 19, 2007 is a bank holiday in Alberta. Banks in Alberta will be closed and deposits and withdrawals with Calgary transfer agents will be unavailable. 

Due to President’s Day in the U.S., NSCC, DTC and U.S. banks will be closed on February 19.  As a result, there will be no New York Link and DTC Direct Link settlements on that day.  CDSX will be available for Canadian dollar settlements only.

If you have questions or require additional information, please contact your relationship manager or your client & advisor services group representative.
