NPC issues
Some believe their ship has come in, while others think it hasn't even been Christened!
That, due to issues regarding the way the Niagara Parks Commission handled the Maid of the Mist lease.
Tory tourism critic Bob Runicman wants the entire 12-member NPC board to walk the plank. This follows a complaint by former commissioner Bob Gale, who said the NPC's decision to award the Maid of the Mist Steamboat Company a 25-year lease extension... was a "dirty" move.
However; NPC chair Jim Williams believes the board can redeem itself, by holding annual general meetings for the public, and by getting the NPC's side of the story out.
Williams says independent reports gave the NPC a passing grade, while also saying it could do a better job communicating, and keeping records.
Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor doesn't agree with either Runicman or Williams, adding he believes the public should decide what to do next with the NPC.
