Eastwood Mall Inc.: Algo Centre Mall

Roof Collapse Dept: ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. - A number of residents of a northern Ontario community still reeling from a deadly roof collapse at a local commercial hub have launched a $30-million class-action lawsuit against those they allege could have prevented the accident, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The suit's notice of action names the owner of the Algo Centre Mall, Eastwood Mall Inc. and its controller Robert Nazarian, the city of Elliot Lake, the provincial government, and an unnamed engineer "who approved the structure of the mall a short time prior to this incident."
