Update May 25, 2026 on Development Beside Our Church

The Archaeology physical work should be done by end of this week. Then they need to write up the report which could take 1-2 weeks. Then submission to the Ministry occurs.

Once the physical dig work is completed and the report is available, TVM , by agreement ,will take it to the city to request permission to take CEC down while we are awaiting the Ministry response. Hopefully TVM will be permitted to begin excavation in the rear of the property as well while waiting for permit.

Response to the site plan comment letter should be ready within a week or so for re-submission and permit submission date is now the middle of June. Based on that timeline, TVM hopes for a permit to be issued by the end of August. That would be for a full permit encompassing all the work .Hopefully the city will provide TVM with an excavation permit in July to allow for work as set out above.

Separately, once the CEC is down, we ( TVM & MSU #2C ) can complete the severance for the property. That would allow for TVM to exercise their option to close the transaction, take ownership of the CEC lands and transfer the 4 condos to the church. I would be happy to see that happen in August but it is dependant on the above as well. Once transferred, the church will be responsible to manage the condos. We can easily use a third party, but quite honestly, I think the church should manage it on its own as TVM will always be available to assist if a need arises.
