SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – A proposed campsite on land adjacent to the Cooper Marsh Conservation Area passed a significant hurdle on Monday when South Glengarry Township Council voted in favour of rezoning the land, paving the way for development.
Run Guo Investments Canada Ltd./Fotenn Planning + Design which owns the land petitioned the Township in May of 2020 to rezone the land from Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) to Open-Space to allow for the development of 25 campsites.
