CDNX Expects to Resume Trading as Usual

CALGARY, AB—The Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) expects to resume trading as usual tomorrow (Wednesday, Aug. 23), after having suspended trading today. A power outage due to a minor explosion in the building where CDNX’s Vancouver offices are located forced the trading system and other related systems to be shutdown.

The leasing company for the 609 Granville St. building has advised CDNX that they expect to restore power by the early hours of the morning on August 23.

This will allow for trading to resume at the usual time of 6:30 a.m. PDT or 9:30 a.m. EDT. CDNX’s trading system operates during the same hours as the Toronto Stock Exchange.
