Schubert $$ Request

Starlee Speers - Vernon 105.7 SUN FM

Vernon's Schubert centre is experiencing serious debt problems and hoping the city will help the centre climb back into the black. The board of directors say a number of unfortunate incidences have created a financial crisis. A Revenue Canada audit showed the centre owes over one hundred thousand dollars in G-S-T. A private donor failed to make good on a donation forcing the centre to take out a one hundred thousand dollar loan to cover the kitchen renos. A request to the city for an annual sewer and water costs tax exemption has been forwarded to the finance committee for recommendations.
