Oakville, Ontario council passes moratorium on data centre development

Oakville Council in Ontario passed a one-year moratorium on data centre development on 11 August to ‘review issues relating to land use, noise, energy, water resources and infrastructure’. Meanwhile, Mississauga Council passed a motion on 29 July directing city staff to draft a one-year interim control by-law, which is expected to be put to a vote on 16 September. One of the factors behind the proposed moratorium was a plan by Prologis to build a data centre of approximately 20,439 square metres in the city.
