Chapleau Town Council Discusses Several Items in 1st Meeting of 2024

Chapleau Town Council's had a promising start to the year.

Mayor Ryan Bignucolo explains Council discussed de-icing equipment at the airport in their recent first meeting of 2024, calling it "a good investment into the airport".

Bignucolo says Council also discussed the Municipal Accommodation Tax - which applies to things such as hotels, bed and breakfasts, or AirBnB-style rentals - with a request from a local club about the tax, since the funds are meant to support tourism.

Mayor Bignucolo notes the Township's already looking toward Canada Day.

Council also approved a resolution to support a housing project on the waterfront property next to the Chapleau Hub - something Mayor Bignucolo is happy to support.

Like many other municipal representatives, Mayor Bignucolo's currently in Toronto for the annual Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) conference.
