conservation authority one of the largest land owners in the river area is abo one of the largest taxpayers with its parks and conservation and wildlife areas its valley lands its dams and reservoirs the authoritys holdings add up to 28155 acres in the watershed last year it paid s48788 in taxes to local municipalities on this land buildings in conservation areas such u the pavilion at elora and the chalet at chlcopee are not taxed the feuon behind this nontaxation is that the authority provides its own services which it pays for u result causes no financial burden on the local municipality r- bul other authority buildings such is houses occupied by its dam operators are taxed in the normal fashion the authority even pays taxes on land under water at belwood conestogo and luther lakes and in some cases it is paying taxes on the bed of the grand river if the deed to the land it owns shows the land going out to the centre of the river bed then its taxed however in some cases deeds show ownership only to the high water mark of the nver the authority may not bring in extra taxes by building industries and new homes on its land but it also required no services from the local municipality like sewers and storm drains paved streets and garbage collection schools and recreational facilities its amazing the number of people who think we dont pay any taxes says mr fox they are probably confusing us with provinceowned land such as areas owned by the department of lands and forests no taxes ore paid on these lands but the municipalities do get a special grant from the province in lieu of taxes by taking the sweepstakes for the highest points of the day phoebe kingscote came fifth in the junior division while colleen wright and babs ellis deadlocked lor third place
