History
Erin Mills Town Centre was built on a land that was originally accumulated by E. P. Taylor's Don Mills Developments in 1954. The mall opened in 1989 and was owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview until it was purchased by the Ontario Pension Board in 2010 for $370 million. There is a large clock tower at the centre of the mall. There once was a Cineplex Odeon movie theatre, but was closed in 2000 and was replaced with Old Navy and Sport Chek. The mall also once had a mini-golf course located near the centre court, but it was later converted into retail space. In addition, there was a Daycare which got replaced to retail space in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
