Toronto, Ontario–(May 15, 2025) – The Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE” or “the Exchange”) today announced market statistics for April 2025.

April 2025 Operating Statistics

Trading volume of CSE listed securities totaled 1.1 billion shares;
Trading value of CSE listed securities was $265 million;
CSE issuers completed 90 financings that raised an aggregate $115 million; and
The CSE welcomed listings from three new companies, including one fundamental change of an existing issuer, bringing total listed securities to 762 as at April 30, 2025.

“The month of April was highlighted by the listing of SNDL Inc., one of the most advanced cannabis companies to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange,” said Richard Carleton, CEO of the CSE. “SNDL immediately joined the CSE’s Senior Tier, which made it accessible to a broader range of institutional investors and index funds. The Senior Tier, which was introduced in 2023, makes the CSE significantly more attractive to larger issuers seeking a senior listing alternative in Canada.”

Summit on Responsible Investment

The CSE is pleased to present the third annual Summit on Responsible Investment (SoRI) on June 5, 2025. After holding last year’s virtual conference, we will be back in person in Kelowna, BC for this year’s conference. The theme of SoRI 2025 is Creating Value, Stewarding Change and it will feature a series of keynote speakers and presentations from innovative companies in industries including cleantech, renewable energy and life sciences. Attendees will learn more about the future of sustainable finance and the latest trends in ESG investing. The day will conclude with a rooftop networking reception.
