The land of the Niagara Parks Commission belongs to all the people of Ontario. Any decisions made about the land, should be in the best interests of the residents of Ontario.

My Great Grandfather owned to the shore line of the Niagara River. My Grandparents owned a home where my father was born, where the first pier of the Peace Bridge is today. Our land was expropriated for the common good. The Parks Commision was originally mandated to provide a park like setting so everone could enjoy the beauty of the Niagara River. The Parks commission over the years has forgotten the people they were created to serve.
The Parks Commission was a great idea with a terrible flaw. The flaw is that the commission is a bureaucratic entity. Bureaucratic systems are very efficient, eveything moves much quicker, like having a General make all the decisions in the heat of a battle. The problem with any dictatorship is that they make mistakes more easily and they are not accountable for their errors.
The parks commission built a monster golf course that only the very rich could afford. It has been a financial flop, so to cover up this error we started to see things like we will reduce the grass cuttering and call it getting back to nature. We will sell off some of our holdings like the Marina and call it privatization. When does it end. Fort George doesn’t make that much money maybe it will be sold next.
Step 1 to Recovery
Legends Golf Course can not be enjoyed by the common person only the rich. It is contrary to the Parks Commision Mandate and should be privatized or demolished.
Step 2 to Recovery
The Chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission should be elected and made to be responsible to the people.
