Twenty Canadian mutual funds and ETFs with low ESG risk
Canadian-domiciled mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that exhibit low degrees of environmental, social and governance risk and that have outperformed peers Canadian retail investors continue to give mixed signals on investing sustainably. On one hand, the sustainable mutual fund and ETF market saw net redemptions over 2024, something that hasn't happened since 2019. On the other, industry surveys (such as the Responsible Investment Association's Annual Investor Opinion Survey conducted by Ipsos) continue to point to desire by retail investors to invest sustainably, citing that two-thirds of Canadians are interested in the concept. The disconnect between investor interest and actual investment behaviour might stem from a lack of clarity around the purpose of sustainable investing. While some investors view ESG considerations as a way to align investments with personal values, this perspective can overlook the growing relevance of the considerations to financial performance. Increasingly, factors such as climate risk, corporate governance and social responsibility are being recognized as material to a company's long-term success – and, by extension, to investor returns. As such, evaluating ESG risks should not be seen merely as a values-based choice, but as a prudent step in making informed, forward-looking investment decisions. This opinion largely aligns with that of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He sees ESG risks as financially material factors that investors must consider to properly assess long-term value and risk. In his book Value(s), he writes that ESG criteria help investors 'identify common factors that assist risk management and value creation but also deliver superior financial returns.' He also asserts that 'fiduciary duty is not a barrier to considering ESG factors – it demands it,' emphasizing that ignoring such risks could breach legal and ethical responsibilities. For Mr. Carney, ESG is not a peripheral concern, but a core component of financial analysis. With all of this in mind, today I use Morningstar Direct to find outperforming mutual funds and ETFs that, based on Morningstar's assessment, exhibit lower degrees of ESG risk when compared to global peers. To do this, I screened for Canadian funds and ETFs (a universe of roughly 4,400 unique investments) for those that: Only the oldest share class of Canadian-domiciled mutual funds and ETFs were considered in the search. The mutual funds ETFs that qualified for today's screen are listed in the table accompanying this article. The table includes tickers, management expense ratios, asset class, category, ratings and returns. Readers are urged to first look at the asset class and category to which each fund belongs, given that ratings are relative to these peer groups. I note importantly that I did not screen on the intent of the fund, only the ESG risk scores. As such, there are funds on the list that don't necessarily align their marketing (or names) with a sustainability tilt. However, the portfolio holdings (according to Morningstar's analysis) reflect lower degrees of ESG risk. This article does not constitute financial advice. Investors are encouraged to conduct their own analysis before buying or selling any of the investments listed here. Ian Tam, CFA, is director of investment research for Morningstar Canada.

Demolition coming for empty fire damaged building on Main Street
The vacant burnt out building that the city is looking to demolish on Main Street. Uploaded June 11, 2025. (Jeff Keele/CTV News Winnipeg) The City of Winnipeg is looking for a contractor to do a wet demolition of a fire damaged building on Main Street. Wet demolition is a process to safely remove asbestos. A fire broke out at the vacant commercial building at 881 Main St. nearly four years ago. At the time, CTV News reported it was set for demolition. Beside the building is a burnt out church that caught fire twice in the last year. Coun. Ross Eadie said the city will pay for the work and then transfer the costs to the owner's property tax bill. 'The time limit is up. (The city) gave them a grace period and now they're putting out, and they're going to hire a company. The city will pay them to do a wet demolition,' said Eadie. It's a new policy, stemming from scores of problem properties plaguing inner-city neighbourhoods, where owners are dragging their feet on cleaning them up. A mountain of rubble, which once stood on the Sherbrooke Street lot, was one of the catalysts. The pile was left over for more than two years from an apartment building fire until the city stepped in, cleaned it up, and put the cost on the property tax bill.

Tenants rally to stop ‘profit-motivated' eviction of East Vancouver senior
Residents of an East Vancouver apartment building gathered with supporters on Wednesday outside the downtown office of their landlord in an effort to get him to drop the planned eviction of a long-term tenant. (CTV News) Residents of an East Vancouver apartment building gathered with supporters on Wednesday outside the downtown office of their landlord in an effort to get him to drop the planned eviction of a long-term tenant. Terry McIntosh has lived at 1177 E. 14th Ave. for 27 years. The building's owner Andrzej Kowalski recently issued a notice to end McIntosh's tenancy so that a live-in caretaker can move into his unit. The Vancouver Tenants Union sees the eviction attempt as 'profit-motivated,' noting in a statement Wednesday that the building contains only seven units, and that Kowalski attempted to evict all of the tenants and convert the property into condos in 2023. 'The tenants all sent a letter to the landlord about a month ago, demanding that Terry's eviction was dropped,' said Sydney Ball of the VTU. 'They all see this as profit-motivated, and every suite signed on.' Ball said the tenants had not received a response to their letter. Wednesday's gathering – organized by residents and the VTU – was an attempt to deliver the letter to Kowalski in person. In addition to maintaining that a caretaker is unnecessary for such a small building, the tenants argue that the landlord has an incentive to evict McIntosh in order to avoid having to compensate him under the city's tenant relocation and protection policy for redevelopment happening due to the Broadway Plan. 'Last year, when we were battling this landlord with the evictions for the whole building, he always maintained that it was going to be under redevelopment, eventually,' Ball said. 'If that's still his plan, then it seems like (it's) definitely profit-motivated to kick Terry out of his home of 27 years.' CTV News made multiple attempts to contact Kowalski on Wednesday, but has not received a response. This story will be updated if one is received. Ball said the VTU has seen a sharp uptick in evictions for landlord's use – such as a family member or caretaker moving in – since the province cracked down on renovictions. 'That's now the most common way to get people out of their homes to jack up the rent, and it definitely always targets long-term tenants, who are often seniors just like Terry,' Ball said. Speaking at Wednesday's event, McIntosh himself highlighted this connection, saying his situation is 'one of many.' 'There are a lot of other tenants that are also under pressure,' he said. The VTU has been calling for the provincial government to remove the motivation for landlords to evict long-term tenants by tying rent controls to the unit, rather than the tenant. Such a policy, sometimes referred to as 'vacancy control,' would limit the amount by which a landlord could raise the asking rent between tenancies. Currently, B.C. law prohibits landlords from raising rents more than once a year and limits the percentage by which they can be raised. The landlord organization Landlord BC has told CTV News in the past that it opposes all rent controls, describing them as a 'blunt and ineffective' tool that discourages building maintenance and ultimately drives up housing costs by suppressing the construction of new supply.
