The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia is mulling whether to grant a judicial review of the province's controversial decision to remove a swath of Crown land from the list of properties awaiting protection. Owls Head provincial park, located in Little Harbour, was delisted from the Parks and Protected Areas Plan back in March 2019. The province's decision to delist Owls Head was made privately by cabinet and didn't become public knowledge for nine months, until it was reported by CBC News on Dec. 18 . Before the province's lawyer, Jack Townsend, delivered his arguments to the court, Coady asked him why an extension should be fought, if the review was worthwhile.
