The following excerpt is from Coulter v. King, 1919 CanLII 342 (SK QB):

In the present case—as in Minors v. Battison, supra—it can be said that there is not a mere power of sale, but an absolute trust for sale, subject to a discretion in the trustees as to the manner and time in which the sale should be carried out.
