Is Dollarama Canadian?

Partly

Ownership is split or partially foreign — read the details.

What we found

Founded by Larry Rossy in 1992, but now ~92% institutionally owned — a mix of Canadian pension funds (CDPQ) and large US index funds; no single foreign controller but meaningful foreign stakes.
