Episode 14: A visit to PoCo that never happened & a whopping 8% property tax hike

Special guest Councillor Paul Minhas joins the podcast to review the most recent New Westminster Council meeting which took place on Feb 5th. The meeting was cut short due to a disruption in the Chamber, but not before Council got to conduct some important business.

In this podcast we discuss why a simple motion to visit PoCo and learn how they can increase services while keeping their taxes low – got defeated.

The discussion also focused on the important need for local resident associations to have the funds they need to operate within our various neighbourhoods.

We also play a special “PoCo-themed” extended version of Bell or Buzzer. IMO it’s the best edition of BoB so far and you’ll want to listen through to the end to find out how Councillor Minhas fared. One question definitely had him stumped!

Our discussion also touches upon some upcoming events focused on childcare, organized sport and the 2nd Annual NWP Spring Fundraiser. Be sure to listen, share and encourage others to do the same.
