GVRD chases fed tax change

THE GREATER Vancouver
Regional District (GVRD)
board of directors will encour-
age the federal government to
amend its taxation policy on
donations of park land.

The board decided to take action
after a land owner was discouraged
from donating property to the
regional district because of inade-
quate tax compensation,

The land in question was sought
by the GVRD as part of its newly
established Granite Falls Regional
Park in Indian Arm.

Federal tax policies seem to
deter the donation of environmen:
tally sensitive land for park and

wildlife purposes.

Currently, donations can be sub-
ject to capital gains tax, and are not
given the same tax treatment as cul-
tural heritage donations.

In addition, people who donate
lo federal or provincial govern-
ments are allowed to deduct the
value of the gift up to 100% of tax-
able income.

Donations to municipatities,
regional districts and charitable
foundations are allowed only a 20%
reduction of taxable income.

As a result, the National Round
Table on the Environment and
many Canadian environmental
organizations are secking changes
in federal Gin laws,

lequttcd to keep Ue sport gory
for focal public curlers,

Veteran counedtor Ernie Crist
summed up the fast manite
quandary for the distaeh bs stati
that the city “hes mide a state
ment,

“The realy as that we lise to
vooatone. Ts as siiple as that...
We have to decept it”

Crist basically comiuded the
ather councillors that sires the dis-
triet shared the costs and finetions
of the reereational services on the
North Shore. ub would be diffieull

forte to ge totally agaist the wish:
es of the city and decide to end
public curhag at the recreation
Centre,

However, the nanedecisian was
frustrating for curling supporters
who sat throwgh a tong and ardu-
ous five hour-plas meeting and did
not even get a chaoee to ay their
vase for saving publicly supported
curdiny

Coun, niece Harris stated that
the district's officuils should “sit
down and Gailk with the city’ about
the curling controversy.

Harris said comneil should pat
foree a vote at such a late hour and
without hearing frond supporters.
