Financial/budget information from PRRD concerning Lasqueti

Here is some information I've come across from PRRD. The most important/interesting parts I've included in a Lasqueti email posting.

Poking around on the PRRD web site (powellriverrd.bc.ca) I found a chart of services provided. Some of them are for the entire region, some of them are for individual Electoral Areas, and some of them are paid for (and presumably benefit) only part of an electoral area. Lasqueti's Fire Protection is like this, as i think it covers only Lasqueti, and not the surrounding associated islands. It's easy to see what services we do and don't pay for and receive.

Here are the taxes collected from Lasqueti, according to PRRD Manager of Financial Services Linda Greenan:

PRRD Financial Plan for 2015 through 2019 is available on-line. It's 89 pages of detailed information about planned spending for each area for each year.
