AAA Windows and AAA Holdings

AAA Windows and AAA Holdings, two related Calgary, Alberta-based corporations, were placed in receivership on January 27 on application by Canadian Western Bank ("CWB"), owed approximately $4.7 million. While AAA Holdings effectively operates as a real estate holding company with title to a building located in Calgary (the "Property"), AAA Windows operates from leased space on the Property as a supplier, manufacturer, and installer of windows and doors. The overall downturn in Calgary's economy during the last several years has negatively impacted AAA Windows' business and cash flow. The court granted CWB's application for a pre-pack sale of both companies' assets. Hardie & Kelly was appointed receiver. Counsel is Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer for the applicant and Parlee McLaws for the receiver.
