January 8, 2010

Good morning.....assessments are out.....the general concensus in Tofino is that property values have dropped considerably.....is this the effect of the high DCCs and water rates ?? Is it from a lack of confidence in a regime that prefers to fund parking lot beautification instead of water infrastructure......???
Kudos to the Public Works dept. for fixing the ramp at the Whiskey Dock.....
Nobody seems to know the status of the Tofino Housing Corporation......hundreds of thousands of tax dollars spent and now there is an oversupply of rental housing in the private sector.....
A new strata plan is being proposed for the Pacific Sands property at Cox Bay....this is good news as it will trigger section 75(1)(C)(i) of the Land Title Act which provides for public access to the waterfront........I'll have a full report on Tuesday afternoon....
If there are any stories that you feel need publishing please forward them to me......thanks,Ralph
