Taxation equity plan for Peace River towns advances
Residents of Chetwynd Dawson Creek Peace River area push for an industrial tax to fund regional recreation. Officials including Mayor Charles Lasser advocate expanding boundaries to tax all regional industries with distributions to five communities. Provincial approval sought after a series of meetings and a 1992 1993 study by Semmens and Adams.
