It appears due to a technical glitch in our website software the last update in Oct was not actually made live on our site we do apologize for that.
Permits have been issued for our expansion and construction will commence in the coming week or two. Currently we are waiting on our construction locates. These are required by law in Ontario before any work can begin. Locates are used to show our team where existing underground infrastructure exits to ensure we do not damage it during construction and in the case of GAS or Hydro it is for the safety of our team that they know where those lines and pipes are located.
