Chapleau's moving forward with its "Municipal Accommodation Tax".
While implementation stalled after it was initially approved by Council over a year ago, Mayor Michael Levesque says Council's now approved the implementation by-law.
Levesque notes funds from the surcharge for hotels, bed and breakfasts, or AirBnB-style rentals would not go directly into the Township's general coffers.
Mayor Levesque notes that takes some pressure off the Township's budget by guaranteeing a different funding stream for tourism.
Levesque had previously expressed hope to implement the tax this fall.
Council also approved the 2022 Welcome Guide - and the proposed printer for it - so the annual document should be issued soon - Mayor Levesque particularly highlights the work of Economic Development Officer Charley Goheen.
