Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours’ Dock Licensing Agreement With Town of Niagara-On-The-Lake Unanimously Deemed Legal by the Court of Appeal for Ontario

On May 29th, 2009 WJBT was issued a cease and desist order from the Melville Street dock owned by the Town, rendered by Judge Quinn. WJBT was issued a stay to return to the dock on June 15, 2009 after operating at the Navy Hall pier for 17 days thanks largely in part to Parks Canada until such time the appeal was to be held. On December 9, 2009, the Court of Appeal for Ontario heard the case between the Niagara River Coalition and co-counsel for the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and WJBT. "Although the judge's decision vindicates the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and WJBT, the reality is everybody has lost. Because of the actions brought forth by the Niagara River Coalition, the Town has been forced to divert funds which otherwise would have served the needs of the taxpaying citizens." states John Kinney owner/operator of WJBT. "Rather than dedicating limited funding and valuable staff resources to community initiatives like our schools and our economically challenged industries (agricultural, manufacturing, and tourism), we have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on issues that have no possible return for the town, and that's what makes this bittersweet for me" commented Mr. Kinney.
