The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index ended down 11.97 points or 0.05% at 21,837.18, after moving in a very narrow range between 21,810.40 and 21,874.61.

Tilray Inc (TLRY.TO) soared nearly 11%. Bausch Health Companies (BHC.TO) and Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN.TO) gained 1.93% and 1.81%, respectively.

Africa Oil Corp (AOI.TO) gained 3.35% after the company said that it has made a cash offer to acquire from minority shareholders in Impact Oil and Gas Ltd. up to 8.0% of the issued shares in Impact. The Offer is made for US$0.728 per Impact share, for a consideration of up to about US$64 million, which implies a valuation of US$805 million for 100% of the company.
