by Sidney Troister

Published: May 2022 by Thomson Reuters

Every real estate lawyer knows that section 50 of the Planning Act affects all real estate transactions in Ontario. With the new 2022 Amendments to the Act this is the only resource to help guide you through the intricacies. Written by leading expert Sidney Troister, The Law of Subdivision Control in Ontario has become known as the single most effective Planning Act resource since its original publication in 1988.

AT THE PLA: We have a large bin ready to collect your non-perishable donations AND we have a donation box to collect money, which will empower Knights Table to purchase the specific items they need.
To sweeten the deal, we will give everyone who donates a food or toiletry item a coupon for 5 free photocopies/laser printing.

AT YOUR OFFICE: Consider hosting a food drive as part of your ongoing corporate citizenship initiatives OR make a direct donation. Looking for a great team-building exercise? Consider taking your staff to the Knights Table to help out - they always need enthusiastic volunteers. Share your progress on social media to help spread the word.

AT HOME: Look through your cupboards and do some spring cleaning! Knights Table will accept your excess food and toiletries (unopened and unexpired). Your home will be tidier and someone in need will benefit from your generosity.
