No Increase in Health Unit Levies

The levy charged to municipalities to help fund the Northwestern Health Unit will remain the same as last year.

Chief Administrative Officer of the Health Unit, Mark Perreault says the per capita rate, combined with declines in population, will mean area town and cities will pay less this year than they did in 2010.

Perreault says staff reductions through attrition has allowed the Health Unit to work with less money from municipalities.
