The HST is expected to be a major topic of debate at this week's Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Vernon mayor Wayne Lippert says the city wants to find out more about how the new tax could affect the tourism industry, and city plans for a hotel tax. Lippert says the city will also be using the convention to find out why the province is holding off on selling the former West Vernon school site. Local government wants to buy the site and use it for a park.
