Local residents are going to have to pay a bit more in taxes this year than first expected.
When city council passed the budget back in February, the Kenora District Services hadn't
approved its budget yet.
Now the city has been told it will need an extra 98 thousand dollars to cover the increased
levy for social services.
Councillor Dave McCann says the budget for the Services Board continues to rise, even though
the province is picking up more of the costs for social services.
For the average homeowner, another .54 percent is going to be added onto their tax bill
to cover the extra costs associated with the Services Board Budget.
