City Council is considering whether all Sarnia property owners (including commercial and agricultural) located more than 450 metres from a bus route should pay the transit levy and share in the costs.

While there is no requirement for registering for a public meeting, it is suggested that you contact the clerks office prior to noon on June 14th, 2017 to participate in the public consultation session, scheduled for Monday, June 19, immediately before City Council’s regular meeting.

From now until June 22, businesses and residents will be able to complete a survey online at http://www.smartsarnia.com/. A paper copy of the survey will also be available and a specific email (transittax@sarnia.ca) has been set up.

Businesses and property owners are encouraged to get involved by participating in the survey or sending their comments to the City.

If this is a concern for you, please fill out the survey and contact an LFA director or Christina at info@lambtonfederation.ca
