Last week’s fire at the Canadian Tire Store in the RioCan Leaside Centre has left the normally busy store in a sad state. But the company is sparing no expense to get the location open again. The burned out Garden Centre has been removed and inventory that was damaged has been replaced. Today crews were busy using high-power hoses to clean the sidewalk outside the store’s front door. What does this mean? There are a lot of opinions. A well-placed security guard on the scene said he felt sure the company was trying to get open within days. Another person, a clerk in the store, said that it might be November. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.
