Contractors Dinged By MTO

The Ministry of Transportation is penalizing maintenance contractors clearing provincial highways in northwestern Ontario for not meeting winter maintenance standards. Carillion Canada Inc. and Integrated Maintenance and Operations Services in the Thunder Bay region are the three highway maintenance companies penalized. Transfield Services in the Kenora area is the other. The MTO will not say how much the penalties amount to because of contract obligations. However, the MTO has described them as "significant financial consequences".
