.
Council voted to raise the amounts and limits on property tax exemption – the new by-law allows up to $250 off the property tax bill for those whose primary residence is in the county, and whose annual combined income is less than $30,000.
Council also voted 7-5 to write a letter to both the provincial and federal governments urging them to develop a plan for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income.
Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.
When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.
989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
