Haldimand councillor is blaming Six Nations land claims for sinking plans for a new Wal-Mart store in the town. Lorne Boyko says he believes a recent decision to scrap the development is linked to land claims in the area. The developer, Calloway, owns the land that was slated for development and Wal-Mart was set to become its anchor tenant. Marc Charlebois, chief operating officer for Calloway, says he can't say whether Six Nations land claims is the reason Wal-Mart decided not to move ahead. The store would've added about 250 jobs to Dunnville, with another 100 added through spinoff businesses.
