Wainfleet is the latest community to request an audit of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.
Mayor April Jeffs passed a motion in Council requesting an independent audit of the NPCA.
Jeffs utilized a seldom used procedure by asking Deputy Mayor Terry Gilmore to temporarily assume her position, allowing her to make a motion before Council.
She says she felt it was important for people to understand how strongly she feels about the issue.
St.Catharines city council also voting this week to send a letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Minister of Natural Resources with the audit request.
