Cases in Peel are not known to be connected to the current multi-jurisdictional measles outbreak in Ontario, according to the Peel Public Health release. Peel Public Health advises anyone who was at any of the exposure sites during the times listed to check their immunization record to confirm they are up to date with vaccinations. Anyone experiencing symptoms should contact their health provider and stay home from work or school. Anyone who is pregnant, has a weakened immune system, or has an infant under the age of one, should contact their local public health unit right away. Symptoms can include fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, a red rash that begins on the face and spreads down the body and small blue-white spots that can appear on the inside of the mouth and throat. They usually begin seven to 21 days after infection. There have been nearly 1,800 measles cases reported in Ontario since October, when a measles outbreak began across Canada. The disease is deemed eliminated in Canada by the World Health Organization, but the country is now at risk of losing that status.

Measles exposures reported at 3 Calgary locations
Alberta Health Services (AHS) says Calgarians were exposed to measles last week. The agency says a contagious individual visited several locations in the city between May 23 and 24 and is urging anyone who may have been there at the same time to monitor their symptoms. AHS said the person was at the Cineplex in Seton (19683 Seton Cres. S.E.) between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. on May 23 and 24, as well as the Amenida Residences and Hotel (4206 Macleod Trail South) on May 24 from 1 a.m. to 12 p.m. On May 24, health officials say that person went to Ikea (8000 11 St. S.E.) from noon to 5 p.m. 'Anyone who attended these locations at these times, who was born in or after 1970 and has fewer than two documented doses of measles-containing vaccine, may be at risk for developing measles. They should monitor for symptoms of measles and are strongly encouraged to review their immunization records,' AHS said. There are 654 cases of measles confirmed in Alberta so far this year and 24 of those are listed as 'active,' meaning they are contagious to others. 'Measles transmission is currently occurring in Alberta, affecting individuals of all ages – including infants, children and adults. Most reported cases have been in children under 5 years old and those aged 5 to 17 who are not immunized,' the province said. The best protection against measles is to be immunized against the illness. The measles vaccine forms part of the regular routine immunization schedule for any Albertan born in the province after 1970. Otherwise, it is also available free of charge through AHS public health centres to all eligible populations.

The Smartest Contrarian Play to Buy With $2,400 Right Now
Written by Karen Thomas, MSc, CFA at The Motley Fool Canada The tariff wars and economic uncertainty have brought a lot of volatility to the market. This uncertainty has created an environment of fear for investors. Yet, some things have remained the same. In my view, the best contrarian play today is one of them. Without further ado, here's why Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX) is one of the smartest contrarian plays to buy now. First of all, as we would expect with contrarian stocks, Cineplex stock is cheap. This is a function of the fact that investors are skeptical. Therefore, they probably do not believe the analyst estimates that are out there. As a result, Cineplex stock is trading at a very low 11 times next year's expected earnings. Also, it's trading at a mere nine times expected earnings in 2027. While Cineplex has struggled a lot since the pandemic, there are many signs that point to a recovery for this entertainment company. Let's review this in the next section. Contrary to what many believe, although not as high as it used to be, the movie exhibition business is still seeing good demand. In the first quarter of 2025, box office revenue came in at 101.9 million. This compares to $156.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. For the full year 2024, box office revenue came in at $562.2 million versus $705.5 million in 2019. This represents 65% and 80% of pre-pandemic levels, respectively. Importantly, Cineplex has fully recovered the first quarter box office shortfall on a year-to-date basis. In fact, it currently stands at 105% of last year's box office. With strong content expected for the remainder of the year, so the company is expecting a strong box office performance in 2025. So, while we are clearly in a lower attendance world than in the pre-pandemic years, things are being done to take advantage of the premier Canadian positioning that Cineplex has in the exhibition industry. For example, new movie watching experiences such as VIP and 4-dx theatres are meant to counter weakness and draw viewers in. VIP cinemas offer in-seat service and comfortable, reclining seats. 4-dx is a multi-sensory experience that immerses us through motion, vibration, water, wind, and lighting effects. These experiences have allowed Cineplex to charge more for a movie, thusly increasing its margins. Beyond the movie exhibition segment, Cineplex is also involved in other businesses. They include the gaming industry, as well as the media business. In fact, in the company's first quarter of 2025, these businesses demonstrated strength that served to offset weakness in the movie exhibition business. The media segment (11% of revenue) posted a 32.9% increase in revenue, as media spending has begun to recover after a difficult period. And looking ahead, the growth in this segment is likely to continue. In fact, capacity utilization in this business remains quite low, so there's nice upside to be had. The location-based entertainment business (14% of revenue), offers multiple entertainment options under one roof. In this segment, revenues grew 10.5% to $38.1 million. This was a quarterly record positively impacted by two new locations that opened up during the quarter. This segment offers a business that offers high margin revenue and a more predictable operating environment given that it's not dependent on content. In conclusion, it is my belief that Cineplex stock is underappreciated and undervalued – and an excellent contrarian play. It has a dominant market share of roughly 80% in the movie exhibition industry in Canada, something that investors are undervaluing. Also, its location-based entertainment venues offer an entertainment experience that the younger generations can enjoy. Finally, Cineplex is taking advantage of its position in the entertainment industry to capture the attention of advertisers who are looking for access to large audiences for their ads.
