Pending municipal government approvals, it is also anticipated the construction of a drugstore will begin in summer 2018, while the completion of a 14- and 10-storey residential building, with occu- pancy, is expected in 18-24 months. This is according to Crombie REIT, who purchased the mall in 2016. A subsidiary of Sobeys stores, the company owns and operates grocery- and drug store-anchored shopping centres and freestanding stores across Canada. In 2012, an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)-approved settlement was reached between the Town of Oakville and Goldmanco Inc., a Toronto-based retail development company, on the re-development of the Bronte Village Mall. Crombie REIT has now submitted a site plan application to the Town, with some information on it available to view on www.oakville.ca. To provide residents with more information on its plans, the company hosted a public meeting at Bronte Village Mall Wednesday, Aug. 30. see Sobeys on p.7 Eid al-Adha Spotlight BEING EARLY HAS S ITS BENEFITS!
