Fantastic news for the city if Calgary if demstar winds up paying.
Nice try Flash.

The only way the province gets involved is if there is already a commitment to site. They aren't going to invest time and money to force the previous owner to pay for remediation unless they have a solid proposal with money behind it to build on that site. This would still be a CoC problem without a major project ready to invest in this space, and the province is not in the business of doing the CoC any favors in that regard. 50 years of inactivity there should tell you that.
