Last night the members of the Port Credit Business Association ratified the proposed budget for 2007 programs.
Sadly, only a small number (very small number) of the over 500 eligible voters turned out. (Does that mean they're happy?) I'm never quite sure if apathy is a good or bad thing.
The board presented a budget of $313,015.00 to promote and beautify Port Credit. The membership voted an additional $10,000.00 for Canada Day fireworks bringing the final budget to $323,015.00.
It's wonderful how local business owners voluntarily tax themselves to invest in the community. I'm sure many people think the flowers, banners, festivals, free-parking in December, networking events, street cleaning and streetscape are all provided by the City of Mississauga - NOT!
The business owners in the village of Port Credit provide all these things and much more to make the village a good place to live, work, play and do business. I think they're doing a good job. Don't you?
