The St. Louis Bridge is a traffic bridge in Canada, previously serving as a railway bridge, that spans the South Saskatchewan River in St. Louis, Saskatchewan. It connects St. Louis to the Rural Municipality of Prince Albert No. 461. Constructed by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the bridge was inaugurated for rail traffic in 1915. In March 1928, enhancements were finalized to incorporate two roadways onto the structure, which subsequently opened for vehicular traffic on May 9, 1928. The bridge remained in operation for the Canadian National Railway until 1983, when the rail line was discontinued. Following this, it was adapted to accommodate road traffic on the former railway bed. In the early 2010s, construction commenced on a new bridge to facilitate Highway 2 over the river, located 1.6 kilometers east of the original bridge. This new structure was completed in the fall of 2014 at a cost of $30 million. There are considerations for the potential demolition of the old bridge following the completion of the new one.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
