As of May 1, 2008 the Town will no longer be providing garbage bin collection for businesses.
Currently the Town is charged $50.00 for each bin pick up and is billing back the busineeses only a portion of this cost. In fact approximately $45,000 per year for this service is subsidized through the general tax.
After considering different options, Council recommended that the individual business owners negotiate themselves with the providers of the bin collection services.
The above information was taken from the Town Of Vulcan Newsletter dated April 15, 2008 Volume 24.

Canadian Real Estate Association AGM
I was in Gatineau, Quebec last week, representing the Brooks Real Estate Board at the CREA AGM and Leadership Conference. First of all, if you are ever in Gatineau, you must stay at least one night in the Hilton Lac-Leamy. VERY NICE!
The conference itself was very informative and interesting. We had speakers from IPSOS, telling us about trends in today's market, Risk Management, and we had Justin Trudeau. Justin seems to be a very smart, personable individual. My guess is that he will follow in his father's footsteps and become PM one day. I do, however, think that he will be more of an open minded leader.
We were told that the declining US market will have an effect on the Canadian market, basically with some American plants shutting down and some Canadian businesses who depend on the American consumers may feel the pinch. As far as real estate goes, Canada seems to have a much better system in place to keep our market in check. Good to hear! We are the envy of the US with our MLS system. It IS great to be a Canadian!
