Fair Share plan eyed to boost Peace Region tax revenue
Regional leaders push a Fair Share proposal to tax pipelines and industrial facilities inside provincial boundaries.

Fort Nelson Liard region's prior experience is cited as evidence the tax does not deter investment.

Fair Share taxation drive seeks regional support
Regional voices argue that oil and gas investment patterns depend on broader factors, noting past activity favors northern regions regardless of local taxes. They credit the PRRD and municipalities for lobbying Victoria to empower tax collection, aiming for a balanced, equitable provincial property tax system benefiting Dawson Creek and Fort St. John residents and businesses.
