Changes in Municipal Tax Policy
|
In a meeting held on December 10th, 2013 a
regulation change.
All municipal taxes
will now have to be paid by October 31st of
that year. This change
is necessary so all taxes will be collected
before year end. We still have tax payers who take the services
offered
in our community for granted and fail to pay their taxes on
time.This makes it bad for everyone else. Council would like to thank
those of you that are
making an effort each year to have your taxes paid
on time.

A Message From The Fire Brigade
|
With your help we were able to make the van for the
Jaws of Life a reality.
We will be
putting the finishing touches on the van in near future. Through
our
fundraising efforts we are able to have our members do training, which
is
essential in offering our town the best protection possible.
We
are now fundraising to buy a large generator for the community in case
of an
emergency where everyone would have to go to the community center.
We have tickets for sale from each of your
fire brigade members. On behalf
of the
volunteer fire brigade I would like to thank everyone for their continued
support throughout the years.
Mike
Verge, Fire Chief

Cat Rescue Efforts
|
Recently Scaredy Cat Rescue had nineteen cats
spayed/neutered. These cats
are now
marked by their ears being sniped and two have collars on them. The
local residents that are taken care of
the cat rescue efforts are asking that no
one hurt these cats. It was costly to have this procedure
done. The residents that
are overseeing
the rescue efforts have 50/50 tickets available for sale to help raise
funds to
offset the cost of having to transporting the cats to Corner Brook. They
are hoping to have more cats
spayed/neutered in the upcoming months.
