ABOUT US
• Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited is a family of
companies with over 90 years experience in the
Canadian retail marketplace.
• In total we have over 1,700 retail locations and
employ over 85,000 people across Canada.
• We operate a warehouse distribution facility at
Bramalea and Steeles in Brampton to service
our network of Canadian Tire stores across
Canada.
• The Bramalea Facility has been in operation for
40 years. The technology inside the building is
aging and the yard is very constrained.
• We have looked at options to update our
current Bramalea Facility, however it has been
decided that it is too old to be renovated and
we need a new facility to stay competitive.

PROCESS TO DATE
• This site on the NW corner of Healey and Coleraine has been selected by the Town
of Caledon for employment use.
• Canadian Tire has submitted an application to permit a warehouse distribution
facility at this site.
• Canadian Tire has undertaken an extensive search across Southern Ontario for a
new location for its aging
g g distribution centre and identified this location as a
preferred site due to the following criteria:
• Proximity to the intermodal facility
• Approximately
pp y 180 acres
• Allows Canadian Tire to maintain existing skilled workforce and close proximity
to the urban areas of Vaughan and Brampton
• Immediatelyy adjacent
j to the existingg industrial area of the Bolton communityy
• As a result of these public meetings in August and November 2012, numerous
changes have been made to the proposed site plan, including moving container
stacking to the SW corner of the lot and increasing the berming along Coleraine.

ABOUT THE PROPOSED FACILITY
• The proposed facility is an important
part of Canadian Tire
Tire’ss network of
warehouse distribution centre facilities
and will help the Company compete in
today’s economy.
• We expect the proposed facility to be a
new state‐of‐the‐art facility that will
improve the environment, through
both the construction and operation of
the land and building and through a
reduction in the shunting of trucks to
other facilities as a result of site
constraints at our current facility.

COMPREHENSIVE INDEPENDENT REVIEWS
• In support of the application, Canadian Tire has submitted a number of studies
prepared by experts in their field. These studies have been reviewed by the

12SUMMARY
• An air quality assessment was prepared by RWDI Air Inc. and submitted for
review by the Peel Medical Officer of Health.
• The
h main conclusions
l off the
h summary were:
• With the proposed facility in place, pollutants are currently within the
target levels in Bolton.
• Two hydrocarbons already exceed their desirable levels in the Bolton
area.
• The impact of the proposed facility on air quality is small and will be
offset in future.
• Scenarios for other site use have equal, larger air quality impact.
• Please Note: Although the slides that follow focus on benzene, the findings
are similar for benzo(a)pyrene (BaP).

• Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has stringent air
quality standards.

• Industrial emitters must meet the standards at and beyond

• Motor vehicles are not included since they are regulated

23OVERVIEW
• Canadian Tire was required to submit a Traffic Impact Study prepared by a qualified
transportation engineer.
• Traffic
ff Impact Study d includes
l d an analysis

d the
h
impact of traffic generated by the proposed land use.
• A Transportation and Traffic Impact Study was prepared by BA Group.
• The Traffic Impact Study underwent a rigorous review by:
• The Town of Caledon
• The Town of Caledon
Caledon’ss peer review consultant
• The City of Brampton
• The Region of the Peel
• Ontario’s
O i ’ Ministry
Mi i off Transportation
T i
• All of commenting agencies have confirmed they have no issues or concerns and
support the analysis procedures and recommendations of the Traffic Impact Study.
24 24TRUCK ACTIVITY
• All truck activity in the Traffic Impact Study report is based on peak season.
• Truck activity occurs seven (7) days per week and is distributed over a 24‐
hour period.
• Truck activity during the typical commuter rush hours represents only 5%
of weekday activity.
• Canadian Tire is a business with seasonal demands and consequently, truck
traffic will vary by day, week and season.
• Average daily

• Canadian Tire has a long experience with planning deliveries both to and
f
from their
h d distribution
b centre ffacilities
l and
d puts considerable
d bl effort
ff into
coordinating trucks both entering and exiting a facility to ensure the traffic
flows smoothly.
25 25TRUCK ROUTES AND SAFETY
• Key area truck routes include:
• 1) Mayfield Road west of Highway 50
• 2) Coleraine Drive (BAR) and
• 3) Highway 50 south of Mayfield Road to the Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail
intermodal facility and Highway 427
• The Town’s BAR northerly extension is scheduled to be completed prior to the
opening of the proposed facility.
• Peel Region and the Town have designated truck routes and Heavy Truck
restrictions.
• Designated/legal truck routes are consistent with and will meet the needs of
C di Tire
Canadian i truckk activity.

26 26SAFE TRUCKS, SAFE COMMUNITY
• Canadian Tire has a Carrier Safety and Compliance Team responsible for ensuring
that fleet drivers are operating in a safe manner and are compliant with the
Hi h
Highway T ffi Act.
Traffic A t
• The team continuously monitors carrier/agency work efficiencies through various
management reports/scorecards. This includes metrics such as:
– Accidents and Incidents
– On‐time performance
– No shows and store scanning compliance
• Canadian Tire maintains a best in class Preventative Maintenance program, which
has every tractor inspected monthly. This ensures the tractors continue to operate
at peak efficiency
• The fleet

improvements in fleet technology that lower emissions and offer improved fuel
efficiency
27 27SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY
• The proposed facility traffic activity levels are very modest, ranging from 245 to
285 cars and trucks during commuter street peak hours due to 3 factors:
• 1) low overall employee density
• 2) earlier arrival/departures compared to existing commuter traffic patterns
• 3) balanced truck flows throughout the day.
• Currently Coleraine Drive is only operating at 40% of its road capacity. With the
addition of traffic related to the Facility plus other near‐term (5 years) traffic
growth, Coleraine Drive will only be operating at less than 55% of its road
capacity (November
( b 2012 Trafficff Impact Study). )
• The proposed facility traffic activity amounts to less than one third of traffic that
could be generated by other typical warehouse or light industrial land uses.
• These higher traffic generation factors were used in the Town’s background
transportation studies in support of expanded proposed employment uses on
the subject
j lands and south to Mayfield
y Road.
28 28CONCLUSIONS OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY
• The site is well located to make efficient use of:
• Existing BAR
• Committed

• Planned road infrastructure (Highway 427 extension and GTA West)
• The BA Group Traffic Impact Study concludes that the proposed Facility can
be reasonably accommodated on the study area network.
• The Town of Caledon’s peer review consultant also confirmed that:
“Based upon their review, comments received by the Region of Peel, City of

31NOISE IMPACT FEASIBILITY STUDY
• A noise impact study was prepared by HGC Engineering and submitted for
peer review by an acoustical consultant retained by the town.
• The assessment in the study was conducted in accordance with guidelines
of Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment.
• The study was prepared to assess sound levels from the proposed facility
at the nearest residences.
• The study considers a scenario where the activities at the proposed facility
are at the maximum and background sound in the surrounding areas is at
the minimum.
• Applicable limits:

34RESULTS
• The sound levels from the proposed facility were predicted
to meet the most stringent nighttime criteria of 45 dB at all
residential locations.
• An acoustic barrier will be constructed along the north edge
of the storm‐water retention pond in order to achieve
criteria at location R3, which is located to the south of the
facility.
• The nearest area zoned for residential use (Harvest Moon
subdivision) is located approximately 500 metres north of
the site. Predicted sound levels at this location range from
28 to 37 dB.
