As part of the redevelopment of Ontario's 400 series highway service centres, Canadian Tire Corporation Limited (CTC) and Kilmer Developments Limited, an affiliate of Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited, entered into a joint venture on March 31, 2010 to build and operate the gas stations and associated convenience stores in each of those service centres pursuant to a 50-year agreement with the Province of Ontario and various other entities. CTC will provide management services and operational expertise to the joint venture and has given the joint venture the right to use the “Canadian Tire” brand on all gas bars and convenience stores. The redevelopment project is being carried out under the terms of a project agreement between the Province and Host Kilmer Services Centres LP, a joint venture between Kilmer Developments Limited and an affiliate of Host International of Canada Ltd., and will occur over the course of several years, with the first service centres scheduled to open in the summer of 2010.
