From the Niagara Falls Review:
It was standing room only at Oak Hall Friday where several dozen people crammed into a committee room for the first public meeting of the Niagara Parks Commission in its 124-year history.
“We did not expect to see this many people,” said acting chairman Archie Katzman. Commissioners are “encouraged” by the public’s interest in the goings-on at the provincial agency which is responsible for preserving, promoting and enhancing the area around Horseshoe Falls and the land along the Niagara River.
Members of the 12-member board voted in December to make their meetings open to to the public, following a government initiative to make its agencies more transparent.
Awesome! I almost went to this but was stuck in the office working on a project. Glad to see there was a good turn out.
