EMERGENCY PREPARATION APPRAISAL
by Dawn Wood, Saturna Coordinator
Situations such as earthquakes, tsunamis or fire can leave us homeless; thus we have the recommendation to pack some bins with emergency supplies that are kept separate from the main dwelling. Summer into fall is a good time to check one’s emergency storage bins – desirable at least every few years! I recently set aside my procrastination for this task; here are my discoveries.

We are writing to invite you to participate in public consultations for the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve’s draft management plan. From today until June 9, 2013, we encourage you to obtain a copy of the draft plan and to submit your comments and suggestions. This can be done via our website at http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/bc/gulf/plan.aspx, by e-mail at gulf.islands@pc.gc.ca or by telephone at 604-654-4000.

Role of Property Taxation Branch
 Responsible for property based taxation and benefit programs
 The major taxation program from your point of view is rural property taxation, where the
branch is the largest “municipality” in the province
 Other taxation programs include provincial property taxes collected by municipalities and the
property transfer tax program
 Major benefit programs are the home owner grant program, the property tax deferment
programs and the first time home buyer program
