The demolition work includes asbestos removal at the supermarket building on the corner of River and Cedar streets.
The asbestos removal will be supervised by a licensed asbestos assessor, and plastic covering and water will be used to mitigate dust. Scaffolding will also be erected along River Street and will extend around the corner into Cedar Street.
It is expected to take until Friday, June 28 to complete the demolition.
Pedestrian access along River Street will not be impacted and traffic management will be in place on Cedar Street. There will be no impacts to car parking on River Street.
