A critic of the project says the decision shows how government policy ignores community concerns.
SHUNIAH — The Ontario Land Tribunal has decided a wellness retreat centre can be developed at Amethyst Harbour over the objections of numerous local residents and the Municipality of Shuniah.
Amethyst Harbour property owners said it was inappropriate to allow commercial activity in a historically residential area, and expressed concern about increased traffic and environmental impacts. But after considering the points raised by all parties, the Ontario Land Tribunal has sided with the applicants.
Tamara Hutchinson has declined to comment on the outcome, citing what she described as "misinformation and misrepresentation" in news reports over the past year. Kuch also alleged the tribunal made a political decision because it reflected "this new process that Doug Ford has put in place," which he said left Shuniah council with no power.
