NOTICE OF PROPOSED LOCAL REVENUE LAWS AND INVITATION TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS
THIS NOTICE is given pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (the "FMA").
Ts'uubaa-asatx (the "First Nation") proposes to enact the Ts'uubaa-asatx Water and Sewer Services Fee Law (North Shore Estates), 2021 (the "Proposed Law").
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAW: The Proposed Law applies only to the area of the Cowichan Lake reserve (No. 08350) outlined on the plan attached to this Notice and the Proposed Law, which area is being developed for market housing purposes under the name "North Shore Estates" (the "Development"). It authorizes the First Nation to levy fees for the provision of water and sewer services to the holders of interests within the Development at rates that correlate with the rates levied by the Town of Lake Cowichan (the "Town") for "outside users" from time to time pursuant to the Town's bylaws plus 10%. The fees to be levied by the First Nation pursuant to the Proposed Law reflect the projected cost of the First Nation in providing water and sewer services to the Development, as outlined in a fee law report prepared by the First Nation.
A description of the key elements of the Proposed Law, and a copy of the fee law report, may be viewed on the First Nation's website at: https://www.lakecowichanfn.ca/
