TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 8, 2015) - CHC Student Housing Corp. ("CHC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CHC) announces that it has determined not to proceed with its previously announced public offering at this time and is withdrawing its preliminary short form prospectus in respect of the offering filed on May 14, 2015.
