The Conservation Review Board held a pre-hearing telephone conference to reschedule settlement conferences regarding Notices of Intention to Designate for several properties in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

The rescheduling was necessitated by the creation of the Ontario Lands Tribunal effective July 1, 2020, and the presiding member's departure from the Board.

The parties agreed to hold a combined settlement conference for both internal and external property issues on July 29 and 30, 2020.

The owners of the subject properties appealed the Notices of Intention to Designate issued by the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake under the Ontario Heritage Act.

A pre-hearing telephone conference was held to establish a schedule for moving the matter forward.

The Conservation Review Board ordered the scheduling of two pre-hearing settlement conferences to address internal and external property issues, and set a six-day hearing schedule with strict time limits for the examination in chief of expert witnesses.

The Conservation Review Board held a settlement conference regarding objections by the property owners to Notices of Intention to Designate four properties issued by the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The SORE Association also appeared as a party.

The Board issued a procedural order directing the resumption of the settlement conference on March 19, 2020.
