Dear editor:

In Peter Rusin’s Aug. 1 letter to the editor, (“Education is solution to anti-development protests in NOTL,”) he calls for education as a means to resolving, at least in part, anti-development protests in NOTL.

I couldn’t agree more.

To be clear, the town planning department’s webpages provide excellent infographics and information explaining the process and clearly illustrating that the official plan, which many believe is set in stone, is in fact a living document that moves with the times and shifting regulations.

The problem is that people aren’t reading it and perhaps more explanation around certain steps in the process is required.

As a solution, I encourage the planning department to provide a roadshow or series of workshops at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre or other venues to provide such education.
