A member of the Carpenters Union Local 27 has resigned in connection with a noose that was found on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT jobsite earlier this week.

The deal creates a combined workforce of 5,000 people and a project backlog worth more than $3 billion.

A week after the Ontario government announced it will fast track delivery of two long-term care homes in Mississauga, it announced a second initiative to add 320 care beds in Ajax.

A large portion of the money will be spent on improvements to the city’s rolling stock, while $30 million has been set aside to build a new transit hub.

After finding the original contractor in default on renovation work to the city’s police headquarters, the city has appointed a new builder.
