Mayor’s report January 20

 The pool has been closed for up to four months to deal with ventilation and other issues, which have been leading to growth of mold within the building. An extended closure is necessary to deal with these issues which can constitute a health hazard. A new pool cover will be installed which will also help reduce excessive humidity and condensation within the structure.

Just a little public service announcement: with the cold weather, the wolves are back in town. Please dont leave your pets out at night, including penned. The owner should be present when letting it out and it should ideally be on a leash. In the last few years, Village dogs have been attacked and on at least one occasion, killed. A bear was also killed within the Village.

I would like to extend our sympathies to Councillor Moore and his family regarding the fire at their home, resulting in extensive damage. I had asked for the fire chief to produce a broad report on the multiple structure fires that have occurred within the Village in the last two years or so. It is included in this agenda.

Yesterday I met with our MLA, Anna Kindy, to advocate for improvement to the Head Bay Forest Service Road, which she has agreed to do once we provide her with further information. My goal is to secure a meeting directly with the Minister of Transportation to make the case for paving the road and its positive implications for economic development of our community. I was also advocating for renewed funding for the Island Coastal Economic Trust and believe that the MLA is willing to advocate for this. The Village of Tahsis has received grants from ICET in the past.

Assessment appeal deadline

 Tax assessments came out beginning of January and your opportunity to appeal assessed value ends at the end of the month.

I encourage everyone to not only check your assessed value, which is the basis for your property taxes, but to prepare evidence and appeal if you feel it is not accurate.

Mayor’s report January 6, 2025

Happy New Year to all our residents and I am sending my best wishes for 2026. Our boat launch project has finally begun and the water-based phase of the project will be completed by the end of February. This includes installation of the boat ramp, the launch float beside it, the demolition of the old airplane dock and the installation of all new pilings for both. Further work will be contingent on staying within the budget as we are avoiding any cost overruns. Further work includes complete replacement of the new dock, adding slips and building a washroom.

We are now fully into winter and I am reminding citizens to always travel with chains, winter gear, means of communication, shovels, a tarp, food items, a headlight and drinking water in case you are stuck for a period of time. An old piece of carpet can be helpful in a pinch for getting unstuck. For those that are able, having a chainsaw along can be very useful for days such as today when trees were blocking the road. If you are unable to do these things, it is wise to not travel during or after snowstorms, or to plan ahead and leave the day before appointments. I know that these things can be onerous but we want everybody to stay safe. It has been years since we have had a fatality on this road caused by winter conditions and it would be great to keep it that way.
