Jet boats working off town dock again today

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Nearly three weeks after they were given the boot, jet boats will be back running from Niagara-on-the-Lake’s municipal dock this morning.

An Ontario Court of Appeal judge granted the town a stay Monday in a previous court order banning the controversial tour boats from its dock in Old Town.

The reprieve is in effect until the court hears the town’s appeal of a St. Catharines judge’s ruling last month that the municipality has been leasing the Melville Street dock illegally to Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours for the past 16 years.

“We’re certainly pleased that we’ll be able to go back to standard operating procedures for the balance of summer,” company president John Kinney said Monday afternoon.
