The appellants appealed the conditional approval of a development permit application for upgrades to an existing campground resort.
At a pre-hearing conference, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake requested party status and the Niagara Parks Commission requested participant status.
The Hearing Officers granted both requests, finding that the Town had a genuine public interest and could make a relevant contribution, and that the Parks Commission had a genuine public interest.
The pre-hearing conference was adjourned to allow the parties to continue settlement discussions.
