The B.C. Ministry of Small Business and Renevue, with Minister Rick Thorpe, will be hosting a consultation in Vernon July 12 as part of the activities of the small business roundtable this year. “This is an opportunity to help make British Columbia Canada’s most small-business-friendly jurisdiction,” said Thorpe, who is also Minister Responsible for Regulatory Reform. “The knowledge on business opportunities you will bring to our table will greatly assist us in further improving the small business climate in British Columbia.”
The opportunity for entrepreneurs and small business owners/operators to have their voices heard by government takes place at the Best Western Vernon Lodge from 5 to 7:30 p.m., there is limited seating. To register, visit www.smallbusinessroundtable.ca or by calling 250-356-8797 or 1-800-663-7867.

by Councillor Beardsell, seconded by Councillor Cunningham: Moved THAT Council forward a resolution to UBCM, OMMA, the Chamber of Commerce and Tom Christensen, MLA recommending that they encourage the Provincial Government to increase the “$10,000 statutory property exemption” for business (Class 6 assessment). CARRIED.
