In response to lenders looking to consolidate their borrowing pools during challenging times, we drew on our track record and lending relationships to access North American and global banking resources through the pandemic, securing C$875m in new borrowing between 2020-2021. This access to new capital increases corporate liquidity and supports further acquisition, development and sustainability pursuits in the US and Canada.
