News Tidbits – In Sault Ste. Marie this morning, Justice Edward Gareau is expected to give his decision in the trial of former engineer Robert Wood. Wood is the only person facing criminal charges in connection with the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake in June 2012. Despite having his engineering licence suspended in November 2011, Wood inspected the Algo Centre Mall in April 2012. The Algo Centre Mall was opened in 1980 and was plagued with many issues from even the initial construction.

In Sudbury, the Rainbow Centre mall in Sudbury will need $8 million in repairs because of problems with the steel structure. It has been declared safe by the city’s chief building inspector.
