Municipal Taxes
We would like to thank those of you that have been paying
their municipal taxes. For those of
you
who don’t drive you may contact the town office to make arrangements for your
payments to
be picked up by the town clerk.
We would also like to inform people that have arrears with
the town and have not made an effort to
make payments we are now working with a
collection agency. You may be contacted
by the collection agency collecting taxes on behalf of the community. If we
have to collect your taxes through the agency
your credit rating will be
affected. This service is costly which takes
away from other services the town could be providing with your tax
dollars.

Bus Shelter
Someone in the community has been using the bus shelter by
the community hall has a washroom
facility.
This is not the first time this as happened, if this continues we will have no choice but
to
close up this bus shelter altogether.
The children in this community use that bus shelter to wait
for the bus to pick them up. It would be
a
shame for them to lose this advantage because of someone’s senseless
act.
If you have any information regarding this matter please
contact the council office at 243-2564.
Any
person caught will be reported to the R.C.M.P. in Rocky
Harbour. Furthermore, charges could be
laid.
