The preliminary agreement covers an initial term of 15 years, complete with three additional extension options of five years each.

Empowering Sustainable Initiatives
Aidan Mills, President & CEO of Northstar, expressed great enthusiasm regarding this venture, stating, "We are excited to make our first public announcement regarding our expansion into new territory. The future site of the Empower Hamilton Facility represents not just a location, but a dedication to transforming waste management within southern communities. Every year, we foresee diverting between 40,000 to 80,000 tonnes of asphalt shingle waste from local landfills.”
This facility will play a significant role in addressing the needs of the housing and construction sectors, supported by HOPA's established multimodal transportation avenues. Ian Hamilton, President & CEO of HOPA Ports, noted, “HOPA is proud to be enabling this innovation. It’s about sustainability in Southern Ontario's construction landscape and supporting economic growth.”
Future Prospects and Ongoing Development
While Northstar maintains a strong focus on completing the Empower Calgary Facility, securing this new location allows the company to begin critical permitting processes and financial planning for future advancements. As they prepare to unveil this innovative project, the company is also initiating talks for essential supply agreements that will enhance their operational pipeline.
Northstar's choice of location was strategically driven by several factors:
- Partnership with HOPA, which has a strong history of fostering innovative projects.
- Proximity to major industry players in the sector.
- Access to essential transportation routes via Hamilton Container Terminals.
- A substantial feedstock supply from a vibrant community with a population exceeding 785,000, bolstered by the Greater Toronto Area's extensive market.
