The promotion comes amid a tumultuous stretch for Aimco, which manages about $180 billion of pension money and other capital. Lord's predecessor, Marlene Puffer, left the firm last September, several weeks before the provincial government stunned staff by firing the entire board, Chief Executive Officer Evan Siddall and other executives.

First Valley Line West Light Rail Vehicle arrives in Edmonton
The Valley Line West's newest Light Rail Vehicle is seen arriving at the Gerry Wright Operations and Maintenance Facility in southeast Edmonton. (Supplied) With construction on the Valley Line West LRT well underway, the city has welcomed the first Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) that will run on the line when it opens sometime after construction is expected to wrap up in 2028. A news release from the city said the LRV was shipped in two sections from Hyundai Rotem Company's facility in Changwon, South Korea, on a roll-on/roll-off ship designed to carry wheeled vehicles. The ship crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived at the Port of Tacoma, Wash., on July 20 before being transported by truck to the Gerry Wright Operations and Maintenance Facility in southeast Edmonton. LRT Edmonton's newest Light Rail Vehicle is seen being loaded onto a roll-on/roll-off ship designed to carry wheeled vehicles in Changwon, South Korea. (Supplied) 'The arrival of the first LRV is more than just a milestone; it's a sign of momentum for the Valley Line West. Watching this train roll into Edmonton is a proud moment for our team and for the city,' said Brian Latte, director of the Valley Line West with the City of Edmonton. 'This LRV is a part of where we're headed as a city. As Edmonton grows towards two million people, Valley Line West will change how we move, how we build, and how we connect with one another.' There are currently 16 LRVs at various stages of manufacturing in South Korea. Hyundai Rotem will be supplying the city with a total of 46 Valley Line West LRVs which will complement the current fleet of 26 LRVs operating on the Valley Line Southeast. The two sets of LRVs are designed to be fully compatible with the 27-kilometre line. 'We're proud to see the first LRV arrive safely in Edmonton. From initial design, to manufacturing and testing in Korea, to final delivery, this vehicle represents years of collaboration and a shared commitment to delivering a high-quality transit vehicle,' said Chiseung Kim, project manager of the Valley Line West with Hyundai Rotem Company. Edmontonians participated in user testing, interacting with a full-scale mock-up of the LRV in 2023 which shaped the final design. The vehicles will undergo testing and commissioning on the Valley Line Southeast tracks at a later time with measures in place to ensure existing passenger service is not impacted.

Claire's, known for piercing millions of teens ears, files for Chapter 11, 2nd time since 2018
NEW YORK (AP) — Mall-based teen accessories retailer Claire's, known for helping to usher in millions of teens into an important rite of passage — ear piercing — but now struggling with a big debt load and changing consumer tastes, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Claire's Holdings LLC and certain of its U.S. and Gibraltar-based subsidiaries — collectively Claire's U.S., the operator of Claire's and Icing stores across the United States, made the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Wednesday. That marked the second time since 2018 and for a similar reason: high debt load and the shift among teens heading online away from physical stores. Claire's Chapter 11 filing follows the bankruptcies of other teen retailers including Forever 21, which filed in March for bankruptcy protection for a second time and eventually closed down its U.S. business as traffic in U.S. shopping malls fades and competition from online retailers like Amazon, Temu and Shein intensifies. Claire's, based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and founded in 1974, said that its stores in North America will remain open and will continue to serve customers, while it explores all strategic alternatives. Claire's operates more than 2,750 Claire's stores in 17 countries throughout North America and Europe and 190 Icing stores in North America. In a court filing, Claire's said its assets and liabilities range between $1 billion and $10 billion. 'This decision is difficult, but a necessary one,' Chris Cramer, CEO of Claire's, said in a press release issued Wednesday. 'Increased competition, consumer spending trends and the ongoing shift away from brick-and-mortar retail, in combination with our current debt obligations and macroeconomic factors, necessitate this course of action for Claire's and its stakeholders.' Like many retailers, Claire's was also struggling with higher costs tied to President Donald Trump's tariff plans, analysts said. Cramer said that the company remains in 'active discussions' with potential strategic and financial partners. He noted that the company remains committed to serving its customers and partnering with its suppliers and landlords in other regions. Claire's also intends to continue paying employees' wages and benefits, and it will seek approval to use cash collateral to support its operations. Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, a research firm, noted in a note published Wednesday Claire's bankruptcy filing comes as 'no real surprise.' Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. 'The chain has been swamped by a cocktail of problems, both internal and external, that made it impossible to stay afloat,' he wrote. Saunders noted that internally, Claire's struggled with high debt levels that made its operations unstable and said the cash crunch left it with little choice but to reorganize through bankruptcy. He also noted that tariffs have pushed costs higher, and he believed that Claire's is not in a position to manage this latest challenge effectively. Competition has also become sharper and more intense over recent years, with retailers like jewelry chain Lovisa offering younger shoppers a more sophisticated assortment at low prices. He also cited the growing competition with online players like Amazon. 'Reinventing will be a tall order in the present environment,' he added.

Create Account The Ottawa-based purveyor of e-commerce software reported a profit Wednesday of US$906 million in its latest quarter as its revenue grew by 31 per cent. The numbers belie the ongoing trade dispute, which poses a threat to businesses Shopify counts on for cash and stands to inflict much more damage if U.S. President Donald Trump continues to ramp up his levies or Canada retaliates. But for now, chief financial officer Jeff Hoffmeister says Shopify's merchants have 'remained resilient' and thus, so has his company. 'The business remains in very good shape,' he said on a Wednesday call with analysts. Amid the discussion, Shopify's shares jumped 22 per cent to $213.11 in mid-morning trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The rise suggested the market was pleased with Shopify's second-quarter profit, which compared with US$171 million a year ago. The firm, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, said the profit amounted to 69 cents US per diluted share attributable to shareholders compared with 13 cents US per diluted share a year earlier. Its net income excluding the impact of its equity investments for the quarter ended June 30 amounted to US$338 million, up from US$291 million a year ago. Revenue totalled US$2.68 billion for the quarter, up from US$2.05 billion in the same quarter last year. The figures cover a period when trade relations between the U.S. and many of its allies, including Canada, continued to suffer as Trump threatened and often, imposed new tariffs. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The tariffs increased operating costs for many businesses that produce and ship products across global borders. Yet Hoffmeister said Shopify hadn't seen 'any meaningful changes' in cross-border activity or buyer behaviour. Customers didn't even move up purchases to take advantage of lower pricing before tariff increases. Merchants, however, decided to prepare for trouble ahead anyway and many raised prices, he said. The hikes could help combat the end of the de minimis exemption, which allows global businesses to ship packages valued at less than $800 to the U.S. without having to pay duties. The U.S. previously removed the exemption for China but recently expanded it to every other country. Hoffmeister said only four per cent of Shopify's global gross merchandise volume — the value of all products sold through its software — is currently shipped under de minimis exemptions. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'We've not seen any significant changes in our GMV levels related to merchants that shipped products under the de minimis exemptions for China, since those rules were changed back in May,' he said. 'We'll continue monitoring these trends closely, staying focused on supporting our merchants in an evolving environment.' Shopify has added some high-profile merchants even in the face of tariffs. It added key customers like cafe chain Starbucks, snowboard retailer Burton and luxury parka maker Canada Goose in the last quarter. 'I've been in talks with the CEO Dani (Reiss) for a long time,' Shopify president Harley Finkelstein said on the same call as Hoffmeister about his discussions with Canada Goose. 'Incredibly, the deal actually closed on Canada Day this year, which made it feel extra special.' Television Basketball Toronto & GTA Columnists Toronto & GTA
