TORONTO, Dec. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian General Investments, Limited ("CGI" or "the Company") (TSX:CGI) (TSX:CGI.PR.D) (LSE:CGI) today declared a special dividend of $0.04 per share payable on December 27, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 21, 2017 ("the Dividend").
