PC MPP Pinsonneault ‘disappointed’ Ford government reneges of promise of EA for Dresden dump
Lambton heads back to work, Warwick lifts tax holiday
August 1, 2020

Trevor Jarrett, treasurer in Warwick, says it is time to begin charging interest and collecting taxes so that people don’t fall so far behind it will be difficult to catch up. Council agreed adding people having problems paying the municipal bill could contact staff to work out some arrangements.
