Bayshore Owner Stubs Toe – Smokestack Trial Delayed Again

St. Catharines Provincial Offences Courthouse to close October 31st |  Niagara At Large

June 17, 2025

The trial of Bayshore Group directors Robert and Chiara Megna has been postponed again due to a freak accident at the provincial courthouse. The pair were to stand trial for demolishing the stack at the old GM site without a proper demolition permit, an incident occurred five years ago.

“I was mounting the steps of the courthouse when the accident occurred,’ said Megna. “The pain was intense. There was no way I could appear in court.”

Charges were brought against the property owners and their company in October of 2020. But since then they have successfully avoided trial as a result of a series of unfortunate occurrences:

2021 Lawyer deceased
2021 Chiara’s hair appointment
2022 Car keys misplaced
2022 Flight back from the Dominican Republic resort delayed
2022 Lawyer deceased
2023 Stomach cramps — bad lobster dinner
2024 Chiara’s hair appointment
2024 Lawyer deceased
2025 Sore toe

The trial has been rescheduled for December of 2025, though it may be delayed again since Mr Megna reported that he has had difficulty finding new legal representation.

  1. It’s plain to see that the wearing of steel toe safety boots should be made mandatory before entering any provincial or federal court house.
