On April 4, 2022, the next Case Management conference at the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) will be held for the case of 22 Weber St W. This may be the last opportunity to share your thoughts directly with the OLT on this application.
You can submit a ‘participant statement’ to the OLT outlining your thoughts on the application. The participant status request form is due at least 10 days in advance of the April 4, 2022 Case Management Conference, or March 25, 2022. We expect there will be opportunity to update your statement at a later date, when the full facts of the case are made available to all, but best to make your full arguments now.
You must fill out a short form to send in a ‘participant statement’. We have a pdf version of the form with the Case number (PL210104) and Case Management Conference Date (April 4, 2022) filled out. All you need to do is complete the:
1) Request Date (date of your submission)
2) Your name and contact information, and
3) The participant statement.
or you can use the version at the OLT website (our case number is PL210104 and the Case Management Conference date is April 4, 2022).
Once you have completed the form, attach it to an email to all the established parties in a single message. The parties are:
–Tribunal Case Coordinator Kimberly Livingstone at Kimberly.Livingstone@ontario.ca
–Region of Waterloo Solicitor Fiona McCrea at FMcCrea@regionofwaterloo.ca
