From Niagara This Week:
The Niagara Parks Commission has denied Nik Wallenda’s proposal for a tightrope walk across the Niagara gorge.
In a long-awaited decision comes three weeks after the famed daredevil made a personal pitch to the agency, which is in charge of managing provincial parks around the Horseshoe Falls.
In a news release issued late Wednesday, hours after a decision was expected, the commission said it gave the proposal careful consideration and made the decision based on its “mandate, priorities and long-term goals.”
