KITCHENER, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RouteThis, a leader in WiFi customer experience (CX) solutions, is proud to announce that Co-Founder and CEO Jason Moore was named the winner of the Fiber Broadband Association’s 2025 Fiber Under Forty Award. The honor was announced during the FBA Awards Luncheon at Fiber Connect 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Fiber Under Forty award celebrates rising stars who are making significant contributions to the fiber broadband industry early in their careers. Jason Moore was recognized for his visionary leadership and groundbreaking work in reshaping how service providers deliver high-performance WiFi experiences.

“The individuals and organizations recognized this year are driving real progress in our industry,” said Gary Bolton, President and CEO of Fiber Broadband Association. “Their leadership, innovation and commitment to delivering high-performance fiber broadband are not only connecting communities, but also shaping the future of economic opportunity and technological advancement.”

With a background in electrical engineering and over a decade of broadband experience, Moore has led RouteThis in creating a CPE-agnostic platform that helps ISPs improve their quality of install, reduce truck rolls, increase ARPU, and scale support operations efficiently. Most recently, under Moore’s guidance, RouteThis launched a groundbreaking WiFi self-install solution designed to enable ISPs to deliver smarter, more intuitive self-installs – while still ensuring that subscribers get the best WiFi experience from Day One.

Moore is also pioneering the use of AI, WiFi diagnostics, OCR, and AR to make WiFi customer experience more personalized, visual and adaptive – whether it’s an install, repair or support interaction, ultimately helping providers differentiate in a competitive market. His work has been especially impactful as providers expand into more rural and underserved areas, where scaling efficient support and seamless installation while reducing OpEx is critical.

LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), in partnership with SmartCentres (TSX: SRU.UN), is proud to announce the opening of its 14^th facility in Canada and its 12^th in the Greater Toronto Area, located at 1480 Jane Street in Toronto.

This six-story, climate-controlled facility spans approximately 105,000 net rentable square feet and includes more than 1,200 climate-controlled storage units.

The new facility is well positioned to serve a densely populated and growing urban area. Within a three-mile radius, demand for convenient, secure storage is rising – driven in part by development plans that call for 2,000 new residential units within five miles of the site.

SmartStop’s newest location will serve the surrounding communities of Maple Leaf, Rockcliffe–Smythe, Richview, Brookhaven–Amesbury, Beechborough–Greenbrook, Glen Park, York and Humber Heights–Westmount.

“Toronto continues to be a key market for us, and this new Jane Street facility strengthens our presence in one of its fastest-growing areas,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SST VI. “We’re committed to meeting the needs of the surrounding communities with secure, high-quality storage, and this location is a great example of how we’re delivering on that promise.”

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (“RioCan” or the “Trust”) (TSX: REI.UN) announced today that a receivership process has been established to protect the interests of RioCan and the other stakeholders in the RioCan-HBC Joint Venture (the “JV”). The receivership proceeding will create a structured process within which RioCan can work with a receiver and other stakeholders to advance and execute solutions for the JV’s properties to benefit the JV and its stakeholders. This includes activities such as dispositions, re-leasing and advancing potential redevelopment opportunities of individual properties. RioCan’s exposure to Hudson’s Bay Company (“HBC”), whether as a limited partner, secured lender or guarantor of certain JV obligations remains unchanged as a result of the receivership proceeding. For further information on the JV, please refer to RioCan’s press release dated March 18, 2025, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust Provides Update on Hudson’s Bay Company’s CCAA Filing.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has granted RioCan’s application to appoint FTI Consulting Canada Inc. (“FTI” or the “Receiver”) as the receiver over all of the assets and properties of the JV. The JV’s receivership proceeding will be a single proceeding that focuses solely on the JV’s assets, and advanced in parallel with the HBC Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) proceeding.

FTI, as the Receiver, will immediately take steps and actions with respect to the JV and its assets in order to preserve and maximize value for the benefit of RioCan and other JV stakeholders. FTI has extensive experience in restructurings and court-appointed receivership proceedings. FTI will oversee the affairs of the JV specifically, managing the process independently of the HBC CCAA proceeding. Pursuant to the court order appointing the Receiver, the JV’s leasehold and 100% owned properties will benefit from a stay of proceedings to allow the Receiver and its stakeholders sufficient time to take such steps as are necessary to effectively deal with the JV’s assets. The co-owned properties of the JV will continue to be managed by RioCan in the normal course.
