The York9 primary owner (Baldassarra) owns the Greenpark Group, a real estate development company.

This info is also on their website:

HFX is using shipping containers as suites at one end of the Wanderers Grounds.

Presumably the owner and stadium are further along in Pickering than they are in Sauga. The latter has one of the more vocal supporters groups in the country, so that certainly isn't their issue.
