Belated day 5 update of the Waverly Woods OLT appeal:  The entire day was taken up on Friday with the evidence of the developer's ecologist.  They justified decisions based on their interpretation of applicable guidelines and legislation to which our experts next week will offer alternatives.  The adequacy of Red-Headed Woodpecker protection and provision of wildlife corridors was questioned in cross-examination by our amazing lawyer, David Donnelly.  To date none of the developer's team has reported encountering a single Fowler's Toad!  One point all sides agreed on though is that Waverly Woods is a unique landscape along the Lake Erie shore east of Point Abino.  We hope that this process has better technological experience going forward because the audio shortcomings are beginning to affect its supposed public transparency, and consuming time that cannot always be made up elsewhere.

At this point, we are uncertain who will follow, but it will possibly be Ron Huizer, another ecologist for the developer and Jennifer Vida, a Registered Professional Planner for the developer.  We haven't seen a finalized schedule yet.
