A petition is circulating the community to call on the reinstatement of the Northern Residence Deduction for the Great Northern Peninsula of NL. If you wish to sign the petition they are located at Irving, Western Petroleum, the Town Office, and Pharmachoice. Hopefully the petition will be at other locations within Town over the next few days.
Residents will receive their tax bill within the next few days.
