A tomato canning company based in Maidstone is in receivership.
Thomas Canning has been granted receivership protection in a Toronto court.
The company was being sued by 9 farmers for nearly $3-million for the company failing to fulfil tomato contracts from the 2016 harvest.
Their lawyer, Jeffrey J. Hewitt, confirms the lawsuit has been stayed as a result of the receivership.
In 2014, the company had been granted $ 3-million for an expansion that never took place.
