The spin-doctoring is already started. In the Ottawa Citizen, Mattamy claims that it bought the property with the berm already in place and was only trying to make it conform with the conservation authority’s standards, and they later found out they needed a permit. Yeah, right… Here is an award winning builder who has been involved in this stuff for ages and they really didn’t know the process. Just like when they started construction on land fertilized with human waste up in Milton. Well, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority didn’t take that line of crap.
Mattamy plead guilty to the charges and it was “accepted reluctantly” to “maintain positive relations and to resolve the matter,” according to Mattamy spokeswoman Susan Murphy.
Your right about the “reluctantly”. Mattamy never likes to give up and as you can see in previous blogs, doesn’t even acknowledge their mistakes. I only wish the Town of Oakvillehad the balls to do their job as professionally as the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. But then, the Town of Oakville has to deal with accepting donations from Mattamy.
