The Vancouver Canucks are on a winning streak. They won all games in regulation in three weeks. Canucks and Canuck fans hope they keep this run when they face-off against the St. Louis Blues tonight at Scottrade Centre.
Vancouver taxpayers will not be refunded for garbage collections that were cancelled during the city workers strike. Unfortunately, it looks like Vancouverites will actually pay more fees for this service.
Vancouver Council is thinking about hiking the annual fee for collecting garbage containers. This recommendation, suggested by city staff, may see the fee go up $6 to $105. The hike is needed, say staff, to cover higher wages, fuel and other costs.
During the strike, the Vancouver government saved about $1.2 million. Since garbage had to be picked up eventually, more money wasn’t saved.
