We were at $1.15 and then at 16:00 16 trades all flagged with the Q marker which denotes "Market On Close" orders.  While there were various sellers the buyer in every case was house 002, RBC.  We've seen MOC trades before, but I don't ever recall seeing 16....and not for total volume of (by my count) 7,899 shares.

Here's what Investopeidia says in part about MOC orders:

MOC orders offer protection to investors by ensuring the purchase or sale of a stock that might move drastically overnight as the result of a scheduled after-hours earnings announcement or an anticipated news story. Investors also find MOC orders when they are not available to execute an essential transaction at the end of the day. 

 

And here's the last 17 trades of the day as per the TMX site:
