Word came down today that the "preferred" LeBreton Flats proponent would be presented to the NCC Board on Thursday, April 28th. That in itself isn't too surprising, it was on the timeline for "Spring 2016", with sometime in April being expected. The surprising part is that this is a meeting open to the public, when the NCC's cone of silence was expected to remain firmly in place until sometime in 2017. That's a pretty big departure for the typically secretive NCC, and the reasons why are anybody's guess. Maybe after all the pre-consultation leaks, they just assumed this would be leaked too.
