'People being on the street, people living here': Richmond Row office building is being converted to apartments
The city partnered with Farhi holdings to turn Richmond Row office space into apartments, reports CTV's Gerry Dewan. The city partnered with Farhi holdings to turn Richmond Row office space into apartments, reports CTV's Gerry Dewan. London's mayor Josh Morgan announced a new office-to-residential conversion on Tuesday. It's the city's third such project for the city, this one a partnership with Farhi Holdings. Work is already underway at 685 Richmond Street where they are taking almost 32,000 square feet of office space and converting it into 41 residential units that will house approximately 80 people. 060325 - housing Third office-to-residential project announced by the city. (Gerry Dewan/CTV News London) According to Morgan, 'In the long run, people being on the street, people living here, are what supports the businesses in the area.' The offices in the four-storey building have been mostly empty for five years. Total office vacancy rates in the downtown have reached about 32 per cent, according to analysis from CBRE Limited. Morgan says the office conversions address three issues -- office vacancies, the demand for affordable housing and the goal of maintaining a vibrant downtown core. 'The people who are going to live in this building are going to walk out the doors to support the businesses and the downtown core. They're going to have opportunities to work in the downtown core as well,' said Morgan. 060325 - housing Third office-to-residential project announced by the city. (Gerry Dewan/CTV News London) Ilias Korakianitis and his family members operate Dimi's Greek House, an eatery located close to where the conversion is taking place. He told those gathered for the announcement that having more downtown residents, along with increased policing and street maintenance, could bring significant improvements to the core. 'If we want downtown to come back to life, we need leadership. We need support, and we need urgent action,' he said. Farhi Holdings owner Shmuel Farhi says the conversions also prevent buildings from falling to the wrecking ball. 'Every building we adapt saves tons of concrete, glass, steel from the landfill,' said Farhi. The city has provided economic incentives amounting to about $35,000 per residential unit. Farhi told CTV News incentives are necessary because the conversions aren't easy or cheap, pointing to the heating system as one example. 'The heating that was for an office wasn't conducive to heating for residential. So that's another million dollars that we have to put there,' he said. 060325 - housing Third office-to-residential project announced by the city. (Gerry Dewan/CTV News London) Morgan said the money comes from the $85 million Housing Accelerator Fund which is supported with money from the federal government. He said more downtown residential conversions are coming, including a proposed 35 storey tower planned for the southwest corner of Oxford and Richmond, where retailer Urban Outfitters was once located. That project is being spearheaded by Toronto developer Fitzrovia Real Estate.

‘Do the right thing': Ostrich farm facing cull order urges CFIA to allow birds to be tested
Katie Pasitney is shown in this photo on her family's ostrich farm in Edgewood, B.C. The fight to stop hundreds of ostriches on a B.C. farm from being culled after an avian flu outbreak earlier this year could end up in court again. The family that owns Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood said they will appeal a judge's earlier decision that sided with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. 'We are moving forward with an expedited case management conference and seeking that emergency stay order once again,' said Katie Pasitney, daughter of the farm owners. She said supporters from across the country continue to show up at the farm, concerned for the fate of close to 400 ostriches. 'We have people just watching the highways to give notice if they see a long caravan of RCMP and people coming,' she explained. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency did not make anyone available to speak to CTV News Tuesday, but said in a statement last week that is continues to plan for the 'human depopulation' of the birds after 69 of them died of avian flu. But the farm said they haven't had a sick bird in more than 145 days and are calling on the CFIA to allow for independent testing. 'We've been living shock and trauma for five months, just asking (the CFIA) to do the right thing, which is test. Test the animals,' said Pastiney. The inspection agency has fined the farm $20,000 after it said the farm 'failed to undertake appropriate biosecurity risk mitigation measures' and didn't report the initial cases of illness. It's something the farm denies. 'We absolutely reported it,' said Pastiney. 'We called our vet. We did our due diligence,' she said. The CFIA also said, 'Allowing a domestic poultry flock known to be exposed to HPAI to remain alive means a potential source of the virus persists. It increases the risk of reassortment or mutation of the virus, particularly with birds raised in open pasture where there is ongoing exposure to wildlife.' 'We do not pose a health risk. We know it,' said Pastiney. She also refuted CFIA claims that the farm did not provide evidence of scientific research and said the information was providing in meetings. The devastating toll of avian flu has seen more than 8.7 million birds culled in B.C. Universal Ostrich is fighting to stop their birds from being added to that count.

Stephenville airport shuttered as power company pulls the plug
It's lights out at the Stephenville Dymond International Airport. Newfoundland Power confirmed Tuesday afternoon that work was underway to disconnect electrical service there. An aviation notice, called a NOTAM, was released at 4:07 p.m. NT saying the airport was closed. It will be in effect until June 9, at least. Last week, Newfoundland Power told CBC News it issued a seven-day notice to pull the plug due to what it called "outstanding account issues." The airport has struggled financially for decades. Ottawa businessman Carl Dymond purchased the operation in 2023 with big promises to turn things around. They included pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, create thousands of jobs, return passenger service and build gigantic, futuristic drones. None of those plans came to fruition. Instead, the airport experienced operational setbacks and found itself in legal and financial trouble. Those woes include a $2.4-million lawsuit over the installation of a new runway lighting system. A trial is set for 2026. An investor who helped facilitate Dymond's acquisition of the airport won a default $2-million judgment against Dymond personally. Stephenville town council is also looking to collect on a half-million-dollar property tax bill. Earlier this year, the airport was downgraded to a "registered aerodrome," which means it's not subject to ongoing inspection by Transport Canada, but is inspected periodically to verify compliance with regulations. When contacted Tuesday, Dymond declined to do an interview. In a text message, he said he expected the power shutoff to only last a few days.
