The Supreme Court announced that it won’t hear an appeal by the City of Ottawa over the future of the Kanata Golf and Country Club, delivering a win for ClubLink as it pursues an infill suburban community.
The city was hoping Canada’s top court would consider an appeal of an Ontario Court of Appeal decision impacting sections of a legacy agreement which would have required ClubLink to give the land to the city if the company stopped using the property as a golf course.
The Supreme Court dismissed the city’s application for leave to appeal and awarded ClubLink unspecified costs.
“With respect to costs at the Supreme Court of Canada, Clublink has 6 months from today’s date to file a Bill of Costs associated with the application for Leave to the Supreme Court, if costs are not agreed to between the parties,” according to acting city solicitor Tim Marc.
People trying to protect the golf course from redevelopment now hope two other court cases will stop the redevelopment from happening.
