You might think that avoiding diversification into overseas
markets will protect your investments,

{t's quite che oppusise. Diversification is an important
investment strategy. In fact, 48% of equity mutual fund assets
held by Canadians were invested in foreign equity funds

Over the long term, equity markets in many foreign
countries traditionally have yielded higher returns than
domestic equity market investments.”

And, Canadian equity investments constitute approximately
2% of the world’s investment cppoztunities. By not taking

advantage of the 20'% foreign content timit in your RRSP, you
could be missing out on potential long-term retums as well as

Your District Heritage Fund
Has Been M: ismanaged.

Selling District land and, at the same time, liquidating the ‘District
Heritage Fund flies in the face of all accepted business principals.
But the person who started this offensive practice wants you to re-
elect him Mayor.

Instead of a balance of $150 million, the District Heritage Fund,
set up to generate $15 Million in interest annually, is all but gone. . f°
But far from keeping texes low, it has had to opposite. effect.’ @
(Easy come, casy go.) In a Wester’ Canada Wide Municipal

Efficiency Study the District was at the Koray while taxes were '

higher. 7 an

Instead of paying for “Parkgate,” a Library snd Playing, Fields from
the Heritage Fund’s annual interest, the money to pay for these
facilities had to be borrowed. And with the principle gone, badiy
needed Sports, Arts and Recreation Facilities cannot be built. For
lack of funding, even existing Recreation facilities cannot be

adequately maintained, : en

The District even sold land carmarked for a small convertion”
centre and a driving range as part of Northlands Golf Course. This
haat been calculated into the money-making formula, The result -
“Northlands” is losing moncy while charging th highest fees of'any
municipal golf course. In short the District | taxpayers are ¢ being d
cheated again. ; :

Bafllegabbing, misleading information and ‘snake oil sales talk
notwithstanding the prictice continttes unabated. Even now, the
last few million dollars feft in the Fund are being eyed to finance a
road realignment for the benefit of Canoxy. This is in complete
contravention to the policy that money can only be borrowed from
the Fund for capital projects if it is repaid with interest.

If for no other reason than setting an example for our children -
Let’s stop that practice, Let’s leave something for the future. ..
