From a CBC article Apr 01, 2014

The retail store near the corner of Main Street East and Victoria was built in the early 1930s, with the gas bar constructed in the early 1970s

The city will not be adding a swooping Canadian Tire gas bar canopy to its registry of heritage properties.
A resident asked the city to consider listing the canopy at 304 Main St. E. on the list of properties with heritage value. Inclusion on the registry would mean the corporation would have to wait 60 days for a demolition permit rather than 20 days.
Canadian Tire doesn’t want the designation, said Scott Arbuckle, a planner with IBI Group, at a planning committee meeting on Tuesday. Arbuckle and Matt Johnston represented Canadian Tire at the meeting.
“It’s a giant concrete gas bar canopy that has no ability to integrate into any sort of mixed-use proposal,” Arbuckle said.

Councillors simply received the report, which means no further action.
