EMC news - The sale of the Nepean property belonging to the debt-ridden Canadian Montessori Academy may have fallen through. The former school – at 70 Fieldrow St. – was placed into receivership by an Ontario court in July in an effort to collect debts totalling more than $1.9 million. The debts were owed to the City of Ottawa, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Business Development Bank of Canada, along with a number of parents who had prepaid tuition to the school for the 2012-13 school year. The court appointed receiver, BDO Canada Limited, was trying to sell the property to pay off the debt.

BDO announced in September that it had entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the World Somali Congress. The letter also stated the congress would operate a school out of the existing building and would be leasing the space until the court approved the sale. But creditors may have longer to wait said former CMA parent Jackie Properzi. See NO COMMENTS, page 5
