Resolutions

Whereas municipalities have business owners that live outside their boundaries, but are community members who contribute significant tax dollars to the community, as well as support local events and fundraisers; and

Whereas residents who live in a community and own land in a rural municipality can vote in both municipal elections.

Therefore be it resolved that SUMA advocate the Government of Saskatchewan to amend The Local Government Election Act to allow business owners that pay business property tax to a municipality to vote in their municipal election.
