From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ontario Tourism Minister Peter Fonseca backs the Niagara Parks Commission’s approach in developing tourism attractions and the role it plays in Niagara’s economy even though it competes with private-sector businesses.
“I’m happy. I’m excited,†Fonseca said after visiting Niagara’s Fury, the $7-million attraction the parks commission built onto Table Rock House, at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls.
“This is a giant step for Ontario tourism,†Fonseca said about the renovations at Table Rock. It was a ringing endorsement for the parks commission from the provincial cabinet minister who is responsible for overseeing the agency.
The parks commission has been criticized by the head of the company that owns the Imax Niagara Falls theatre for developing an attraction he said goes head-to-head with its businesses.
