Well, the past few weeks I've had occasion to stop at this place at night, and I have noticed a few changes.
Most notably, the solar street lighting has been deactivated, with the exception of 3 lamps. I found this most curious.
Tonight I stopped by and spent roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes walking the fenceline. There appears to be no security on site anymore, or if there is, their patrols are quite infrequent.
I observed tire tracks alongside the inside of the fence, which is no big surprise because the security guard used to drive alongside the fence interior to scan it for holes, breeches, etc. However, I took a picture of the tracks and they appear to be no more recent than a month ago.
It is my considered opinion that security is currently not present on the property. The deactivation of the street lighting makes no sense since each lamp is a self-contained unit and not a drain on the property's hydro bill. The apartment complexes on the east side of the property still have their huge ass yard lights on 24/7, however.
The aforementioned light that I triggered by walking past a certain gate is also turned off. I walked under it and nothing at all happened.
I drove around to the "front" entrance of the site, or more specifically the gate that blocks the roadway leading to the main entrance. Curiously enough, the street lights there were mostly on. I snapped a picture of the sign on the gate but it didn't come out too well. As I was reversing out, a lamp that was off came on right as I was underneath it. Couldn't help but wonder if someone watching from Toronto via a camera flipped it on to spook me.
I suspect that the security firm got fired come the New Year and they've been without a human security presence since. The deactivation of the solar lights honestly makes little sense, as it would be less safe for someone patrolling - vehicle or on foot. Not to mention that once the snow melts a trespasser would be virtually invisible the entire time he/she was on site. 75 minutes with no patrol is a long time.
Pictures, for whatever they're worth.
