Chapleau Council Considering Municipal Accommodation Tax

Chapleau Town Council is reaching out to the community as it considers implementing a new tax.

Mayor Michael Levesque says Council's debating whether it should adopt a "Municipal Accommodation Tax" - as allowed by provincial legislation - noting it could help with some initiatives.

However, Levesque says the Township's reaching out to those who'll be affected - like hotels - to outline details like how it'll work and how it would affect them, then get feedback before Council makes a decision.
