Thanks for the input Michael Trulsen. You are correct and Google Maps is wrong. We`ll remove the incorrect map.
The Cooper`s Foods in question is at 450 Lansdowne St. according to the RCMP. Cooper`s website also lists the same address for it`s Landsdowne location. Google Maps identifies this buidling as 450 Lansdowne St. If this isn`t the correct location Michael Trulsen, please provide us with the correct one.
