The Canadian Tire Auto Service Department has now re-opened at Eglinton Ave. E. and Laird Drive in the RioCan Leaside Centre. The main store remains closed however, the result of a fire that destroyed the CTC Garden Centre on September 24, 2012. Officials on the scene today said it will probably be December before the store is back in business. The fire caused extensive smoke damage forcing the company to replace the entire floor and fixtures, as well as inventory.
Not surprising! Thought that “a couple weeks” was a little optimistic after seeing all that black smoke billowing into the sky.
We’ve learned recently just how insidious smoke damage can be!
