“We are pleased to facilitate the sale of our interest in Club16 back to Chuck Lawson, Carl Ulmer, and Trevor Linden,” said Gary Mauris, chairman and CEO of DLC. “Since acquiring the interest in Club16 in 2016, the corporation has completed a significant reorganization with a focus on DLC as the corporation’s core business.

“As such, the corporation had reported its investment in Club16 as a non-core asset and believes the sale further simplifies our business and our financial reporting. Chuck, Carl, and Trevor have been outstanding partners for over five years and we wish them the best as they continue to grow Club16 into a market-leading fitness company in British Columbia.”
