Tim Hortons appears close to reaching an agreement in its appeal against air emission rules imposed by the Ministry of the Environment for a new Ancaster coffee roasting facility.
A negotiated settlement could help Tim Hortons open its $30 million facility in the Ancaster Business Park later this fall.
Evangeline Berlie, case manager for the province’s environmental review tribunal, said a preliminary hearing slated for Monday has been cancelled. Berlie said counsel for the appellant, Fruition Manufacturing Limited, a Tim Hortons subsidiary, is close to reaching a settlement with the ministry of the environment.
A teleconference between the company and the ministry was slated for this week.
Tim Hortons launched an appeal against the ministry air emission restrictions earlier this year, arguing the conditions were excessively onerous. Tim Hortons has been pursuing mediation with the ministry over the last several months in an attempt to avoid a lengthy hearing process.

Lets be clear. There has been extensive hunting happening at Iroquois heights since summer 2008. There are no longer anywhere near 100 dear in the park. The “natives” have killed the vast majority of them.
ReplyDeleteI drive the 403 hill at dusk almost every day. For years I have counted the deer as I made my way up the hill. I usually saw at least a half dozen deer, up to twenty was not uncommon. I haven’t seen a single deer this fall, and only a few since last fall.
The deer are gone, that’s why the natives have moved on. They are now hunting in Dundas Valley.
