Certificate of Property Use for 419-425 Woodbine Avenue, Toronto
Official title: 421 Woodbine Avenue Holdings Inc. - Certificate of property use
A developer wants to build homes on a contaminated property in Toronto's east end. The ministry reviewed their risk assessment and is now deciding whether to issue a Certificate of Property Use. This certificate would set rules for how the land can be safely developed, including barriers to contaminated soil and ongoing inspections.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
If approved, the property can be developed for residential use with specific conditions. Building construction will be restricted in certain ways. Barriers must be installed over contaminated soil. The certificate gets registered on the property title, so future buyers will know about the contamination history.
