Manning, Alta. – On April 13, 2026, Manning RCMP received a report of a concerning investment business operating in Manning. RCMP is currently working with the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC), the regulatory agency responsible for administering the province’s investment laws. ASC officials have confirmed that an entity, located on 4 Avenue in Manning, may be engaged in providing investment contracts and trading in securities without dealer or adviser registration.

On Feb. 17, 2026, the ASC released an Investor Alert warning the public that this entity is not registered in Alberta. Registration ensures that entities are qualified to sell investments and are compliant with regulatory obligations, including investor protection measures. The ASC further identified warning signs that this entity may be a fraudulent investment scheme.
