  • Strategic Plan 2018-2028 1 a Message from the Chair
    STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2028 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Back in 1885, a group of people came together to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of Niagara Falls and the Niagara River corridor. These visionaries recognized something special in the environment that they wanted to preserve. A treasure and cultural heritage they wanted to protect. This was to be a place of reflection, of beauty and of natural wonder. While the borders of Niagara Parks may not be immediately recognizable or known, these values remain steadfast. It’s the reason the Niagara Parks Commission exists, and the values of preservation and conservation inform everything that the organization says and does. Niagara Parks and Ontario are experiencing a period of growth and there is huge potential to enhance the rejuvenation process by making our natural and cultural heritage come alive by telling stories that set us apart. In the Spring of 2017, the Niagara Parks Commission undertook the development of a new 10-Year Strategic Plan to lead the organization forward. During this exercise, the Niagara Parks Commissioners reviewed the current vision, mission, and values to determine if they truly reflect the Commission, its operations and the overall direction it intends to set for the future. I would like to recognize the significant efforts of the Niagara Parks Commissioners, Moriyama & Teshima Architects, and CEO Reegan McCullough and his senior staff who unselfishly contributed a significant amount of time and expertise to developing the new Niagara Parks Strategic Plan (2018 – 2028). Their efforts will benefit NPC’s founding principles (financial self-sufficiency and public access) by increasing revenue, increasing employment opportunities, ensuring ongoing maintenance, preserving the Niagara River corridor and the economic well-being of the region and continuing to remain as free to the public as possible.

  • Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario
    Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario Legislature: Reconsidering the Relationship Jocelyn McCauley Student Number: 216280703 Dr. Peter P. Constantinou A Master's Research Paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada July 2020 Abstract Officers of Parliament, or as they are referred to in Ontario, “officers of the Assembly”, have emerged within Westminster systems as a recognized tool for enhancing parliamentary oversight and increasing transparency in government. However, in Ontario, the absence of a clearly defined relationship with the provincial legislature has meant that certain officers of the Assembly have felt it necessary to “lobby” individual members and committees, as well as the media, in order to carry out their accountability and oversight functions. This lack of clarity places unnecessary stress on the relationship between independent officers, the Ontario Legislature, and the public sector, and can also negatively impact the public’s perception of government overall. This paper looks specifically at the relationship between the Ontario Legislature and officers of the Assembly, in terms of their governance structures, their appearances in legislative committees, and references to their work in House and committee proceedings. It finds that reforms are needed in order to strengthen officers’ relationships with the Legislature. Independent officers possess few powers of enforcement and as such, strong ties to the Assembly are necessary to ensure that recommended action is taken by legislators defend public trust and dollars. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.
