UCPR says protect campground tax break
Monique Poirier, conférencière du deuil
Suite au décès de son fils, Monique Poirier commença à donner des conférences gratuites au gens vivant un deuil. Depuis 2010 elle est animatrice pour La Traversée à Rockland. La Traversée est un groupe d’entraide qui offre un soutien, un accompagnement pour aider les endeuillé(e)s à naviguer à travers cette dure épreuve et pour redonner un sens à la vie. Selon elle le deuil est l’ensemble des réactions d’ajustement, d’adaptation et de transforma- tion nécessaire pour que les gens puissent vivre sainement et de façon autonome après le décès d’une personne significative. La première conférence aura lieu au restaurant Le Chardo à Alfred le 21 septembre à 19h.

circulating among Ontario municipal go- vernments to support a joint lobbying effort of Camping In Ontario (CIO) with the Cana- dian Federal of Independent Businesses (CFIB). The CIO represents 440 private commercial campgrounds in the province. Together they are pressing the CRA and the federal financeministry and the department of small business and tourism to revise the policy so that small private campgrounds are recognized as small businesses and are entitled to the small business deduction on their income tax reports. A brief states that private camping opera- tions in Ontario represent 15,000 jobs in the province, contribute $1 billion a year to the provincial economy, and generate $294mil- lion in tax revenue to senior governments. Copies of the resolution will go to the small business and tourism minister and to all Ontario MPs.

Owner/operators of small campgrounds in the Prescott-Russell region can count on the United Counties council to stand by themagainst a clawback proposal con- cerning their small business tax deduction privilege. The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has begun sending out notices to campground owners that their commercial income tax files may undergo reassessment because of an agency policy change dealing with the small business tax deduction.

200 potted trees to be planted The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA), in partnership with Tree Canada, is taking steps to create the area’s first edible forest. The project, funded by Tree Canada’s Edible Trees Program, is one of 20 projects approved among 167 applications across Canada. Its objective is to provide the local community access to wild tree and shrub edibles, as well as to learn about the health benefits of wild foods. Approximately 200 potted trees and shrubs will be planted to create the garden. “We want to make wild edibles more accessible to people,» said Normand Genier, RRCA’s forestry specialist. “They are all around us, extremely nutritional, fresh and free!”. The event will be held on September 10, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Gray’s Creek Conservation Area. A Wild About Edibles workshop will also be held highlighting the benefits of wild foods, learning important identification features of wild edible species, and the correct harvesting methods and timing. – Francis Racine
