Loblaw Companies Ltd. officially broke ground Aug. 19 on the 1.2-million-sq.-ft. advanced logistics and distribution centre located on Woodbine Avenue. Representatives from Loblaw, Choice Properties, Rice Group, the Regional Municipality of York, town council and staff, gathered in East Gwillimbury at the project site to officially mark the beginning of construction.
