Tax Exemption - The CBR Municipality has increased the low income property owners tax exemption. 1. Single Income $12, 000.00 2. Multiple income $15,000.00 Those who are under the above income level (include income tax form) and are a resident and can show legal title of property can apply for a tax reduction of $125.00.
Shouldering - I have received numerous phone calls regarding the shouldering along Route #4. This work falls under the Dept. Of Transportation and Communications, not the CB Regional Municipality. However, as your councillor I have called the DOTC in Sydney River, MLA Russell MacKinnon’s office and the Sydney Cabinet office to relay your concerns about poor condition of the shouldering. Because the work that has been done so far this spring has left the shoulders unsafe and unsightly, I suggest that more calls to the proper authorities are appropiate.
Sidewalks - Before the pricing of sidwalks in Big Pond area can be completed, the Dept. Of Transportation & Communications wants the Big Pond Community Council to indicate on what side of the highway the residents wish to see the sidewalks installed.
Student Lottery - Student lottery (Grade X11 or College/University Students) for District 14 is scheduled to take place June 8th at the Coxheath Arena at 5:00 pm. Students or a representative are required to be present at the draw.
