NOTICE OF RETROSPECTIVE REGISTRATION
Notice of Territorial Interest — 423-Acre Development Tract
Retrospective entry under Rule 11. Original notice: 10 May 2022. Date of registration: 3 April 2026.
Be it known and placed on record:
That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters in the Register the Notice of Interest in the 423-acre tract of land in the City of Brantford subject to development proposals by Panattoni, issued by the Secretary-General on 10 May 2022.
I. SERVICE AND RECIPIENTS
On May 10, 2022, the Secretary-General served a Notice of Interest on Panattoni representatives, being a real estate development firm with proposed interests in a 423-acre tract within the City of Brantford within the Grand River Territory. The notice was copied to Jeffrey W. Lem, Director of Titles for the Province of Ontario, expressly for the record of Ontario’s land titles office.
The following Panattoni representatives received the notice: A. Smele, W. Dobbin, M. Smele, M. Jablonski, and A. Don.
II. THE INTEREST ASSERTED
The notice asserted the Nation’s territorial interest in the 423-acre tract as lands within the six-mile corridor of the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784. The notice included four supporting documents: Notice of Interest in the 423-acre tract; Conservation and Stewardship — Bluebelt; Mission and Vision — Bluebelt; and Haldimand Tract — Bluebelt. These documents outline the Nation’s conservation and stewardship position for the tract.
III. SIGNIFICANCE
This notice demonstrates the Secretariat’s ongoing practice of serving Notices of Interest directly on private developers acquiring or proposing to develop lands within the Haldimand Tract. The practice lifts the veil of innocence from third-party developers who proceed with notice. The Arrowdale Notice (GZT001-050300-000038 [now GZT001-260204-000038]) and this notice together establish a pattern of active land interest assertion within the Haldimand Tract that predates the formal opening of the Register. The Director of Titles is thereby on constructive notice of these interests via the copies received.
EXECUTION
Executed under the authority of the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River.
