While international travel remains impossible for most Canadians during the pandemic, Soulpepper Theatre Company is serving up a trip for your imagination.
Around the World in 80 Plays is a two-month-long series of audio drama versions of significant theatre works from eight different cultures on five continents: Canada, Argentina, Italy, Russia, India, Iran, Jamaica, and Nigeria. The audio dramas are presented alongside ancillary programming, including documentaries about the plays and playwrights on the CBC Radio program
Torys LLP represented Scotiabank on the deal.
Scotiabank announced that it has reached an agreement for the sale of its banking operations in Guyana to First Citizens Bank Limited. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
This transaction supports Scotiabank’s strategic decision to focus on operations across its footprint where it can achieve greater scale and deliver the highest value for customers. Scotiabank’s current operations in Guyana encompass four branches and approximately 180 employees. Following closing, all employees will continue to support the business.
Until regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction closes, Scotiabank’s operations in Guyana will continue as usual. First Citizens and Scotiabank will work together to facilitate a smooth transition for the business.
