This resort community is located in the Northern Municipal Region. Its taxes go to Northern Municipal Services and are held in trust for the cabin owners’ association. The education portion of taxes is assigned to Northern Lights School Division. The municipal portion of taxes generates only about $3500 annually, and from this the community pays town site road maintenance, landfill cleanup and other expenses. As a result, the financial capacity of the cabin owners is quite limited even though substantial amounts of tax money are generated by the community.
On the one hand, I agree that we should be paying taxes for government services and our fair share of supporting health and education in this province. On the other hand though, it does seem to be a lot to ask that we send over 90% of our tax money to support a school system that is two hours away.
What do you think?
