Propane SalesParkland selling propane biz: Parkland Fuels has struck a deal to sell its Canadian commercial propane business to Avenir Energy for $115 million. The company says the deal is a big step toward its goal of selling off $500 million worth of non-core assets by the end of next year to focus on the main part of its business. The company has been under pressure from activist investors to turn its operations around or consider strategic alternatives, including a sale of the business. The company’s shares are down by about 18 per cent since February.
