Taxes in the Crowsnest Pass

One small piece of good news coming out of the Alberta Budget. For the first time in many years the amount the Municipality will be collecting on the Tax Bills this year that is designated for the ASFF drops from $2,756,890 to $2,700,547 a drop of $56,343 or 2%.

That is really good. But, all the other things are not, especially education. I can see the Pass, sooner than later, having to consolidate schools. Only makes sense. We have a lot of schools for a really small amount of students.
Some big decisions probably coming up again, which will probably be the next big complaint.

I wonder what kind of impact the budget will have on our school system in the Pass. They also cut a fuel subsidy for school boards. Probably have more impact on a spread out community like ours.

Instead of just consolidating the schools let's assure that the schools District staff is appropriately downsized. They are top heavy as it is.

I believe I've been told that we will have lots more students for our schools. Soon to be a new hotel, and don't forget about the "heavy industry." Maybe another mystery industry? The one that just needs to figure out how to cool off some hot water? Council has it all under control. Trust them, they know what to do. All will be well.

I think school issues might be more immediate than that. Consolidation is probably a given.

Only a certified fool would trust these guys. Too bad too many inhabitants in the Pass fall into this category. Beware of the fools.

If I want to cool water I put it in my fridge or for even colder water I put it in my freezer.We make ice for our arenas and curling rinks, use air conditioning to cool our homes and cars.The funny thing is that this mystery company can not figure out how to cool the water, yet they are an established company.It is between us and 1 other area. Is it easier to cool water somewhere else or are we being led down the garden path.Just some hump day laughs.
