Non-Market Lease Agreements - Sport and Sandher Fruit Packers Extension of Waste Discharge Permit
Council supported a temporary Waste Discharge Permit for Sandher Fruit Packers after several wastewater system failures led to environmental concerns, regulatory violations, and Ministry of Environment fines. The City supports extending the permit to May 31, 2027, allowing monitored discharge to the municipal system while the company completes its permanent wastewater solution, which is expected to be operational by spring 2027.
