Upper Fort Garry as a Heritage Park

The proposed Upper Fort Garry Heritage Provincial Park Act is aimed at preserving the cultural and historic significance of the site, according to Conservation Minister Bill Blaikie.

“This downtown Winnipeg site will have the status of a protected area as Upper Fort Garry Heritage Park, ensuring the restorative and interpretative work of the Friends of Upper Fort Garry can continue,” said Blaikie.

“The historic significance of the fort will be recreated and interpreted, adding a prime destination to this area of the province and building on the success of The Forks, the Manitoba Museum and the Canadian Museum of Human Rights.”

The province will invest $2.5 million in the Upper Fort Garry site towards land acquisition, site preparation and other expenses to help secure the area as a provincial heritage park.

Aboriginal people met near this location at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers for the trade, social exchange and political discourse. There is archaeological evidence of First Nations occupying the area; campsites over 1,000 years old have been discovered near the proposed park site.

All that remains of the original fort is the Governor’s Gate, which has been preserved on a small piece of heritage property.

The Friends of Upper Fort Garry have raised over $10 million for the creation of the interpretative centre and heritage park in a stretch of land along Main Street from Broadway to Assiniboine Avenue.

Smith touts tax plan

Nipissing MPP Monique Smith issued a media release Tuesday touting the benefits the Ontario Tax Plan for More Jobs and Growth Act, which includes the harmonized sales tax legislation.

If passed, the act will increase business investment, create new jobs and raise incomes for Ontarians, the release said.

The release said along with the proposed harmonized sales tax, 93% of taxpayers will pay less personal income tax, while 90,000 low-income Ontarians will no longer pay provincial personal income tax.

The province is also proposing to almost double the property tax and sales tax credits.

Proposed tax cuts for business would enhance the benefits of the proposed HST by attracting more investment into Ontario, said the release.

The personal income and corporate tax reforms include a 16.5% tax cut on the first $37,106 of taxable income — which would make Ontario’s the lowest personal income tax rate of any province in Canada; an average personal income tax cut of 10% for Ontario families and individuals earning up to $80,000.

The act also includes an 18% tax cut for small businesses and a 17% tax cut for manufacturers.

City talks taxes on new interactive website

Posted on by

The mystery behind where Calgarians property tax dollars are going can now easily be solved with a new website launched by the city.

The Tax Talk website, launched on the eve of Calgary’s 2010 budget discussions, is intended to “help Calgarians understand where their tax dollars go,” according to a statement released by the city.

“It is an excellent tool for Calgarians to put their property tax in perspective,” said Gord Lowe, chairman of the city’s finance committee.

With a proposed increase of at least 4.8 per cent on property tax coming with council’s budget decisions, the Tax Talk site comes at the right time to answer basic questions Calgarians may have, Lowe said: “With the ability to measure their property tax against 14 other Canadian cities, Calgarians gain an important look at how they sit in relation to the rest of the country.”

The site enables Calgarians to enter the amount of property tax they pay and then breaks down that amount, dollar by dollar, into how much each citizen contributes to specific city services.
