At their meeting Tuesday night Flin Flon City Council passed several resolutions for the Association of Manitoba Municipalities.  They ask them to lobby the provincial government to provide municipalities with a 25 percent share of net revenues generated through the collection of cannabis excise taxes by the government of Canada, to reinstate the development business loans program to support the growth of small businesses and local economies in northern Manitoba, to review the exiting per capita model of VLT distribution and dedicate a larger portion of VLT revenue to support provincial programs addressing social issues created through the use of VLTs and to make changes to the Mining Tax Act so it can support affected communities and related mining exploration activities. These resolutions will go the AMM’s district meeting next month.

Council also supported Snoman in its efforts to have the government implement the incorporation of the Snowpass with the registration of snowmobiles for the sustainability of the snowmobile trail system and snowmobile clubs.
