AND WHEREAS Council has supported Councillor Christie’s mandate of promoting fiscal responsibility, endeavouring to ensure that there were no increases in Township expenses above the inflation rate, and reducing expenses where possible, and as a result of his lead, the Township of The Archipelago has had the lowest tax rate and is the best managed municipality in the West Parry Sound District;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Township of The Archipelago recognizes the value of the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit program to rural communities and requests the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities immediately reinstate the program until a formal evaluation – which must include input from delivery agencies and participants – is completed; and further that the Ministry ensure any changes to the OSEB program retain both the entrepreneurial and income-support components that have made it successful.
