CORRECTION/UPDATE:
Since this media release was issued, there has been some confusion created by the different addresses associated with the Innisfil Street location. When we conducted our property search, this site came to us as 80 Bradford Street, Unit 940. When we released the potential site locations included in this media release above, Mr. Steve Sperling (property owner/landlord) gave a public statement referring to the site location as 19 Innisfil Street. It has since been brought to the attention of the co-applicants by Mr. Sperling, Landlord and Rob Nicholson, General Manager of the Aerarium Group that the preferred reference to the site location should be 11 Innisfil St. recognizing that the legal address remains 80 Bradford St. Unit 940. Further explanation of the request to refer to the site as 11 Innisfil St. can be found in a letter provided to the Canadian Mental Health Association, as lead applicant by The Aerarium Group.
