- The Province has lifted the suspension of appeal periods during the state of emergency. Because of this, we are required to reissue Decisions made February 19 and March 4 to reactivate the appeal period. If a Decision is not appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, it becomes final and binding 20 days later.
- The Province has also decided that the period of the COVID-19 emergency shall not be included in counting the one-year time limit for fulfilling provisional consent conditions. Accordingly, the one-year lapse period is extended during this time.
