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.
