Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program
The Municipality recently passed a Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program bylaw, which helps residents to access low interest financing to complete a water supply upgrade for their property.
The Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program operates on a first come, first served basis until the Program budget for the fiscal year has been allocated. Should there be funding available for your proposed Water Supply Upgrade, you will be required to sign a Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program - Financing Agreement that outlines your roles and responsibilities as Qualifying Property Owner, as well as those of the Municipality.

Council Highlights
From the May 6th, 2019 Victoria County Council meeting:
NSHA - Brett MacDougall, Executive Director Eastern Zone Operations for the Nova Scotia Health Authority spoke to council and responded to a number of questions from the Councillors and the gallery regarding doctor and medical professional recruitment, unplanned hospital closures, increased ER visits at Victoria Memorial Hospital due to closures in CBRM and point of care equipment usage in Buchanan Memorial. Mr. MacDougall was invited to update Victoria County council again in the coming months. A new recruiter is now in place and will be invited to speak to council in the near future.
Tax Strategy – Victoria County’s CFO Alix Redden and Director of Taxation Pauline Davis spoke about a new strategy for targeting specific tax accounts that are past due. The municipality will move towards having three tax sales per year as well as updating the tax collection policy. Tax bills are expected to be mailed out in mid-June, with a due date of August 1, 2019.
15 Years of Fundraising! – Every April for the past 15 years, the communities in District 1 come together to host a fundraiser dinner at the Iona Legion. This year, the dinner raised over $5400 for the Cancer Centre at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. The fundraiser was first created when then Councillor Dan E MacNeil was fighting his own battle with cancer. He is fondly remembered still, as community members gather each year to remember those lost to cancer. Since the event first started over 15 years ago, more than $70,000 has been raised for this worthy cause by the residents of District 1.
Seniors Advisory Committee – Council approved 15 names for the new Seniors Advisory Committee.
The minutes of the May 6th Victoria County meeting will be posted once they are approved at the next council session on May 21, 2019 at 5 p.m.. Check out previous council minutes here: https://www.victoriacounty.com/government-sp-1471415674/council-minutes.html

Compliance 2018
Some changes coming... If you follow Municipality of Victoria County sorting guidelines and put recyclables in blue bags, compostables in green bags and garbage in clear bags, you likely will not see any change to the way you do things now.
Beginning October 22, 2018, we can no longer accept non-compliant waste that does not follow our Solid Waste by-law.
