Drink coffee, help a kid MANITOBANS will have a chance to enjoy a cup of Tim Hortons coffee today and help send a local child to camp in the process. Today is Tim Hortons Camp Day in Canada and the United States. The fundraising event, which has been held annually since 1975, sees Tim Hortons restaurant owners donate all proceeds from coffee sales that day to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation ( THCF), which sends more than 15,000 children to camp each year. Foundation coin boxes will also be set up at each Tim's outlet, where customers can donate unwanted pennies and other cash donations will also gladly be accepted. " Camp Day gives us all a chance to help a deserving kid take part in the experience of a lifetime. All it takes is your spare change, even just pennies, to add up to something so significant and meaningful, like sending kids from your community to camp," said Dave Newnham, THCF president and executive director. " Once a child attends our camp, they return home with a more positive attitude and greater confidence about their future." Last year, 3,700 Tim Hortons restaurants and their customers raised $ 9.9 million. Saputo loses on bakery MONTREAL - Despite stagnant snack- cake sales, Canadian dairy and cheese giant Saputo says it has no plans to sell its struggling bakery division after taking a $ 125- million writedown that pushed its overall fourth quarter to a loss. " Our focus right now is to continue to improve that division, and it is not for sale," CEO Lino Saputo Jr. said Tuesday in a conference call. Efforts over the last two to three years have allowed the small division to at least keep its " head above water," he added. Saputo said it continues to work on increasing sales to the United States, but the non- cash goodwill impairment reflects stagnating market growth for snack- cake sales. Montreal- based Saputo ( TSX: SAP) operates Vachon, Canada's top snackcake brand and the maker of such desserts as Jos. Louis, May West, Passion Flake and Ah Caramel. U. S. firm buys Miranda MONTREAL - Broadcast equipment company Miranda Technologies has agreed to a friendly takeover offer worth more than $ 370 million from U. S.- based Belden Inc., expected to help the combined company achieve more growth in emerging markets. Belden, which manufactures cable and networking equipment and competes with Miranda, has offered $ 17 per share cash for the Montreal company. Miranda's share price jumped $ 6.48 or more than 60 per cent to trade for $ 16.87, just short of the takeover bid. Miranda has been pursuing sales in emerging markets where television viewing is growing and stations are converting to high- definition signals. Disney drops junk- food ads NEW YORK - Disney says its programming will no longer be sponsored by junk food. The Walt Disney Co. said Tuesday it will become the first major media company to ban such ads for its TV channels, radio stations and websites intended for children. That means kids watching Saturday- morning children's shows on Disney's ABC network will no longer see ads for fast foods and sugary cereals that don't meet the company's nutrition standards. The guidelines won't go into effect until 2015 because of existing advertising agreements. At an event announcing the push, U. S. President Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, called the announcement a " game changer." RBC weighs in on takeover TORONTO - The Royal Bank of Canada has finally waded into the takeover of the TMX Group by rival financial institutions by urging regulators to take action to ensure costs don't escalate for companies that list on financial markets. Canada's largest bank says in filings with the Ontario Securities Commission that it largely supports the transaction but has some concerns. It fears costs will escalate when Maple buys the TMX and combines it with the Alpha trading system and CDS, Canada's system for clearing and settling stock trades. In one of several submissions to the Ontario regulator from various stakeholders, RBC ( TSX: RY) suggests Maple be forced to use Alpha's lower trading fees as the basis for regulated pricing instead of TMX's current fees. - staff / from the news services BUSINESS Watch B_ 08_ Jun- 06- 12_ FP_ 01. indd B8 6/ 5/ 12 9: 32: 10 PM ;
