Bill PR23 revives the corporation Ice Hockey Resources Ltd., which was voluntarily dissolved in 2017, restoring it to its legal position and allowing it to continue carrying on business.
Bill PR23 is a special private bill that brings Ice Hockey Resources Ltd. back to life as a legal corporation. The company was dissolved in 2017, but Richard I. R. Winter, who was the sole director, applied to the Ontario legislature for special legislation to revive it because business has continued to be carried on in the corporation's name. This bill restores the company to the same legal position it had when it was dissolved, including all its property, rights, privileges, franchises, liabilities, contracts, and debts. The bill came into force on October 26, 2023, the day it received Royal Assent.
