Dilapidated is an understatement. Reckon the owner is bankrupt or unable to pay so into the old "can't get blood from a turnip" routine. Still has to be taken care of and Government should remove it and ensure that the owner pays up before any other licenses or permits are issued to conduct business in this province. Maybe seize any assets that company/individual has.

IF the province has to demolish this building due to public safety, so be it. The costs of the demolition should be charged to the owners of the facility. Then, if they fail to pay the bill, it can be passed over to a collection agency, who will recoupe the costs in whatever means necessary. Make these people responsible for their actions! It's time for our provincial government to stop being pushovers with issues like this.

ok this company that actually operated this structure should "foot" the demolition,as we know and see that they has "no regard" to environmental and eyesore,the should be "forced" to foot the bill and not let them off the HOOK!!! I feel this is just another bill for the taxpayers unreal!!!

Ok...let the demolition of every old building in the province begin. We will all pay for them instead of who should be paying.

I guess the owners got what they wanted. The people of the Province will end up paying for this and the expenses will not be recovered. The owners should be charged under the Act, but we know that won't happen.
