Vox Populi

LETTER: Many full-time members of Canmore would be happy to offer their perspective next time you’re around. They may even play you a tune on their tiny violins.

LETTER: It is a thoughtful way to recognize the number of veterans buried here and is especially sombre when the lights come on at night. We did, and continue to, remember them.

LETTER: For those people who feel Canmore's new vacancy tax to be unfair, this tax is not dissimilar to the home owners' grant that British Columbia gives when your property is your principal residence.

LETTER: We disagree with the categorically determined livability tax that is being implemented by Canmore’s town council.

LETTER: I read the Vox Populi section of the Outlook with interest. It’s a quick pulse check on our community and hopefully demonstrates there is more to our social consciousness than real estate advertising.

LETTER: The provincial government’s Nov. 7th announcement of the All-Seasons Resort Act (Bill 35) raises some serious concerns in that it includes a clause that would enable the government to remove the designation of provincial parks, wilderness areas and other protected areas to allow the development of privately-owned resorts.

LETTER: Many of us taxpayers in Canmore are strongly against the livability tax program because instead of taxing all homeowners equally, it targets only those who are already unable to afford to live in Canmore full-time as their prime residence. 

LETTER: That’s how we got into this mess and how we can get out. Thank goodness Grotto Canyon is a spiritual place.

LETTER: Albertans, hang onto your hats. Or should that be your pensions?

LETTER: We have owned a condominium in Canmore since Aug. 15, 1990.  It has always been used by our family members and friends.
