Story out of Ottawa, Ontario:
The federal body responsible for developing Canada's capital region is apologizing for how it handled a child-run lemonade stand being run in Ottawa without a permit over the long weekend.
Seven-year-old Eliza Andrews and her five-year-old sister Adela had set up their stand on a grassy median between Echo Drive and Colonel By Drive on Sunday. But an NCC conservation officer told their father Kurtis Andrews they needed a permit to operate there.
Kurtis Andrews said he thought the move was "an overreaction."
Andrews took his children to the National Capital Commission office on Monday to apply for a permit, where NCC spokesman Nicholas Galletti apologized.
Galletti said the conservation officer acted in good faith to enforce the rules, but said it could have been handled differently. Cont.
