OverviewSummary updated

Prairie Distributors Inc., Prairie Distributors (BC) Inc. and Prairie Distributors (Central) Inc. remain in active insolvency proceedings. Bank of Nova Scotia holds a secured claim of CAD $1,669,503 as at August 31, 2016, with interest and costs continuing to accrue, under a security agreement granted by Prairie in favour of BNS dated April 9, 2012; a legal opinion confirms a valid and binding obligation enforceable in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. A Canada Revenue Agency audit of the pre-receivership payroll accounts for January 1 to June 30, 2016 produced a deemed trust claim of CAD $13,005.23, which the Receiver has paid. WorkSafe BC submitted a priority claim of approximately $40,000 in August 2016 on the pre-receivership account of Prairie Distributors (BC) Inc.
