Starting on July 31, 2025, residents will see crews mobilizing at 121 Cavan Street (former File Factory) in preparation for the removal of fire related debris and cleanup on the site.
Work is expected to take approximately one week with cleanup activities set to begin tomorrow, August 1, 2025.
During this time, there may be temporary lane disruptions and increased truck traffic in the area.
Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to exercise caution when travelling near the immediate area.
As background, in July 2024, a fire occurred at the former File Factory site on Cavan Street. The clean-up is being completed in accordance with municipal and provincial regulations, following non-compliance with a property-related order.
These measures are intended to remove fire-related debris to ensure the site is consistent with community standards.
As the order pertaining to the remediation of the property has not been complied with, the Municipality has secured a contractor to bring the property into compliance, at the owner’s expense.
The Municipality appreciates the community’s continued patience and understanding as this important work is carried out.
