Cadillac Fairview confirmed to CTV on Monday that an incident occurred on Saturday near the food court at CF Polo Park. Video and photos from the scene show pieces of building material on the ground.

The spokesperson said the incident is currently being investigated by a structural engineer to determine the cause and the immediate next steps.
The area where the concrete fell is blocked off to allow for the inspection.
