Rebate program approved for seniors

Good news for low income seniors.  City Council has approved a 100 dollar rebate program for seniors tax and water bills.  Councillor Iain Angus says the program will help protect our vulnerable population. Angus notes it's a lot cheaper to have seniors stay in their own homes than move into a home.  Over 200 thousand dollars is being put towards the rebate program.  Eligable seniors would receive 100 dollar rebate for their tax and water bill.
