OSC Staff Notice: Registration Renewal

OSC STAFF NOTICE

The Ontario Securities Commission, in conjunction with other Canadian securities regulators, is developing a web-based registration system called the National Registration Database ("NRD"). Pursuant to the rules under which NRD will be implemented, all registrants will have a common renewal date of December 31st.

In order to make the adjustment to a common renewal date, all registrations and renewals occurring under the Securities Act and the Commodity Futures Act between December 1, 2000 and December 1, 2001 will be effective until December 31, 2001. Registration fees will be prorated accordingly.
