Integrity commissioner investigating Niagara Parks Commission

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Ontario’s integrity commissioner has begun its investigation into a complaint about the Niagara Parks Commission’s process, filed by one of its own commissioners.

“The integrity commissioner’s office is handling it. My concerns are being addressed by them,” said Bob Gale, a Niagara Falls businessman and a member of the Niagara Parks Commission’s board.

The parks commission’s chairman and manager say they’re aware Gale has filed a complaint, but they haven’t seen it and have not been contacted by the integrity commissioner’s office as part of any investigation.

“We have had no word from the Ministry (of Tourism) or the integrity commissioner’s office. I really don’t know where that’s at, at this point,” said chairman Jim Williams.

There’s no indication how long an investigation by the integrity commissioner would take, though Gale said, “I’m expecting a few months.”
