Council approves rebate program for seniors

Good news for low income seniors. City Council has approved a 100 dollar rebate program for seniors tax and water bills. Councillor Iain Angus says the program will help protect our vulnerable population. Angus notes it's a lot cheaper to have seniors stay in their own homes than move into a home. Over 200 thousand dollars is being put towards the rebate program. Eligable seniors would receive 100 dollar rebate for their tax and water bill.
