Municipal Taxes

This is a reminder, for residents that have their taxes paid, Thank You. For residents who are in arrears there are stricter measures enforced. The deadline for taxes to be paid in full is October 31, 2015. If water has to be cut, there will be a $100.00 hook-up fee before it is turned back on.

Parsons Pond Festival

Due to circumstances and surrounding issues at Hill view Park during the festival. If this kind of behavior continues, Sports and Recreation will have a difficult time obtaining a liquor license to sell beer and liquor for this yearly event. That will be a shame, the Sports and Recreation has spent lots of money providing recreation facilities for this community and we all hope it will not have to come to an end because of improper behavior.

Kids Live Well Marathon

Over the past six weeks the summer students have been involved with the Kids Live Well Marathon and swimming at Rocky Harbour.

Vandalism

It has been reported to the town council, decorative knobs that were screwed on the flower pots at the pull off sites have been stolen. The town tries to keep the sites attractive for people to use. This is very disrespectable to the town.
The wire fencing around the lagoon is also being tampered with. There is a steel post gone and the wire fence is falling down around it. If anyone see or know of someone that maybe responsible for this kind of vandalism, please contact the town council office.
