The revised freeze period for transfer and exchange transactions will be in effect from August 1 until August 29, inclusive. The freeze period for redemption transactions will be in effect on August 28 and August 29.

All services related to Canada Savings Bonds and Canada Premium Bonds via CDSX will resume on September 2.
