CORRECTION

It was incorrectly stated in an article in the May 10 issue of the Wellington Advertiser (Committee of Adjustment Decision on MDS measurement headed to OMB) that a minor variance for a property on Wellington Road 10 reduced the required MDS setback from 180 to 159 metres. The setback was actually reduced from 392 to 159 metres. The Advertiser regrets the error.
